Cool. Let us know if you run into any unforeseen caveats with the 1 user.

Will do.

Out of curiosity, how much data are you dealing with? I’m working with multiple small business using around 100TB each.

Not much atm. I only use it for personal backup.
I setup my G-suite ~ 1,5 years ago for use with Deja-dùb backup. But due to network issues I only got it working ~ 3 months ago.
My isp issued router wouldn’t do bridge mode, and they refused to help. A new isp fixed the issue.

Right now I only have 1.4 tb uploaded. 600 GB Deja-dùb backups, and 800 GB gpg encrypted .tar and .rar archives.

But I have a 40 TB nas which I want to backup, plus ISO backups of my blu ray collection.

1.4 TB is nothing compared to your clients, but still over the official 1 TB for a single user.

I’m gonna be pushing another 1-2 TB up to it this weekend, so It’ll be growing.

for not much more than n expensive phone, cable internet deal i can host in a real colo with symmetric 1g connection which does not exist in my area. if i price out all the services i use as cloud services i think would be cheaper but, i’d be at providing company’s mercy.

Update here…

People are saying that it’s not being enforced, but yikes.

That was always the case though… don’t use google drive to host your spicy hitler memes.

It doesn’t even have to be that anymore. :frowning:

@oO.o A little update from me.
I’ve yet to upgrade from my current gsuite for business account, and Google haven’t sent any mails since they initial introduced their new workspace enterprise branding.

If they start contacting me about upgrading, and saying I must, I’ll go the for the Enterprise Plus version, since it lists unlimited storage as a feature.

My storage use have gone from 1,4 TB, to 12,2 TB, and growing.

Maybe existing Gsuite for business accounts got grandfathered in?

Cant yeet you for wrongthink if everything is encrypted.

Just wait till the oligarchs try to outlaw encryption.

But they could opt not to give you more than 5TB/user if they just see a mass of encrypted files.

Well, they have, for years. But outlawing it means nothing if they can’t crack it :troll:

True, if they do that I’ll only backup documents, photos, music and such. Or just ditch them all together, build another nas and place it at a family member/friends house.

Amazon already bans putting encrypted files on their Amazon Drive service. IDK how long before they extend that to other services.
