Google Will Mass Delete Old Gmail And Photos Content Next Week::Google will start mass deleting inactive Photos and Gmail accounts on December 1st.
I’m all for bashing them for their shitty practices, but let’s be honest here. If you care about your memories, all you have to do is login once and they’re safe. If that’s unreasonable, I think that’s a you problem.
It’s also Google. You probably shouldn’t put anything on it that you’re not expecting to go away in a few years when the service shuts down.
At the very least, have a spare copy somewhere that isn’t likely to get wiped out.
You make a funny point. https://killedbygoogle.com/
But GMail isn’t going anywhere. There are surely very few more valuable places to harvest user data than reading all their emails.
Still big agree. Have a backup. Don’t trust corporations.
The never just deleted data without a plan for you to download it. Your photos aren’t going anywhere. If by some chance Google goes out of business you’ll have ample time to download them.
Unless you’re saving your own shit on multiple disks and putting copies of shit in multiple places, Google photos is probably the safest spot on the planet for them.
Mail likely isn’t going anywhere. A lot of corporations rely on Google workspace.
