Naive, perhaps, but if a company advertises a service, they better fucking deliver on that service. Sure, I wouldn’t store all of my important documents solely on a cloud service either, but let’s not victim blame the guy here who paid for a service and was not given that service. Google’s Enterprise plan promised unlimited data; whether that’s 10 GB or 200 TB, that’s not for us nor Google to judge. Unlimited means unlimited. And in an article linked in the OP, even customer service seemed to assure them that it was indeed unlimited, with no cap. And then pulled the rug.

And on top of that, according to the article, Google emailed them saying their account would be in “read-only” mode, as in, they could download the files but not upload any. Which is fine enough-- until Google contacted them saying they were using too much space and their files would all be deleted. Space that, again, was originally unlimited.

Judge the guy all you want, but don’t blame him. Fuck Google, full stop.

Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source for that?

8==D O:

This didn’t read like an ad at all. I don’t think the company would want to push the fact that they can generate a burning world trade center or epstein’s island.

This is all absurd, obviously, but:

The new subscription can be stacked with a Plus, Gold or Platinum subscription for access to more features, the company notes.

$499 and you don’t even get everything there is to get? You still have to pay for more? What in the fuck?

…elaborate?

I don’t 100% understand LPPL, but I believe it qualifies under open source, but regardless if it’s open source or not, LaTeX > Word and I will die on this hill.

I’ve seen that a couple times before, I think something just didn’t federate properly.

My expectations were low, but holy shit.
