RichCor Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 They're making you DO SOMETHING before they give you something free. We should take this to the EU courts! Simple Security Checkup With check boxes green, you are eligible for the 2GB of free storage. Google says that they will grant the storage bump to security checkup completers around February 28, confirming with an email. Unfortunately, Google Apps accounts are not eligible for the bonus storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather buy a 2 GB HD and keep my things private. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have yet to really embrace the 'cloud'. For stuff that I don't really care about or can easily replace, sure. Dropbox is great for all the ThaiVisa graphic attachments. But when accounts can get hacked, passwords changed, account locked out due to Terms of Service violations, etc, etc. ...Nope, not gonna do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny - I oversee over USD $50K/mth in cloud spend at work, but no way would I use it for my own data 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the reasons I created 3 Google Apps (Free) accounts a few years ago. Though I have yet to activate more that a few accounts. For some reason I like the DropBox model for 'cloud' storage and sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
