Google prueba reducir el almacenamiento gratuito de Gmail a 5 GB

Durante años, abrir una cuenta de Gmail fue sinónimo de recibir automáticamente 15 GB de almacenamiento gratuito compartido entre Gmail, Google Drive y Google Fotos. Esa regla podría estar cambiando. Google estaría probando un nuevo esquema en el que las cuentas de Gmail recién creadas solo reciben 5 GB de almacenamiento gratuito, con la opción de desbloquear los 15 GB completos si el usuario añade un número de teléfono a su cuenta (Fuente Reddit).

El hallazgo lo hizo público un usuario de Reddit identificado como sungusungu. Según la captura compartida, Google le presentó un mensaje de «revisión de opciones de almacenamiento» donde le ofrecía pasar de 5 GB a 15 GB gratuitos a cambio de agregar su número de teléfono. (Apple World) La comunidad no tardó en reaccionar con escepticismo: varios usuarios interpretaron el movimiento como una nueva forma que tiene Google de recolectar datos de sus usuarios, aunque otros señalaron que el requisito del teléfono podría tener como objetivo reducir la creación masiva de cuentas spam.

Lo que sigue siendo una incógnita es el alcance real del cambio. No está claro si se trata de una modificación en proceso de implementación o de un test A/B limitado a ciertas regiones. Google no ha anunciado ningún cambio oficial, y su página de soporte todavía indica que cada cuenta recibe 15 GB de almacenamiento gratuito. (Apple World) El periodista que cubrió la noticia intentó replicar el experimento creando una nueva cuenta, pero Google directamente le impidió continuar el registro sin ingresar un número de teléfono, mientras que su cuenta alternativa sin número vinculado seguía mostrando los 15 GB habituales.

Sea un test o el inicio de un rollout, la señal es clara: Google está explorando maneras de vincular el almacenamiento gratuito a la identidad verificada del usuario. Para millones de personas que dependen del ecosistema de Google en su vida cotidiana y laboral, la posibilidad de que los 15 GB gratuitos dejen de ser un derecho automático para convertirse en un beneficio condicionado representa un cambio de reglas de juego significativo. Google no ha respondido hasta el momento a las consultas de los medios.

I've been thinking about this global climate change thing, and I might be on to something:

Maybe we've been wrong to keep storing things "in the cloud" all the time. With all that data in there, the clouds don't seem able to handle as much moisture as they used to, resulting in more hot air.

To remedy the issue, I propose we sacrifice a tech CEO to the weather gods.

I logged into my very first @protonprivacy account today - the one I created way back on November 19, 2014, during the closed beta. The Proton Drive section had been deleted due to inactivity, so I had to initialize it again from scratch.

When I did, I noticed a really unusual onboarding feature - they give you a 10-minute countdown timer, and any files you upload during this window simply do not count toward your storage quota.

I have never seen another cloud provider do something quite like this. It is a really clever way to encourage users to migrate their data right away.

Created a Mega account a few hours ago and set it up on several devices to see how it's going.
I have not had a single file uploaded when I received an email stating that I had breached the T&Cs and that my account was terminated.
That's it, just like that. Did not state what I was supposedly doing wrong.

I appealed and was told "You have been banned from opening a new MEGA account due to a previous breach of MEGA's Terms of Service https://mega.io/terms including clause 20.8."

Well, I have to admit that my brain sometimes has gaps, but I am pretty sure that this was my first Mega account, and I am pretty certain that I had not breached and Terms and Conditions.

Well, guess good that I did not throw 30 years of data at it to find out that my data could be going in a fraction of a second.

My data on my hard disk looks way safer right now.

Looks like cloud storage and privacy and all that gist is just talk.
If you want to be in control of your data, you need to have physical access to it.

Otherwise, ANY cloud storage is just someone else's computer.

Thanks for the reminder, Mega.

I reinstalled my Seafile instance for the 999th time, and this time I have added a USB drive logo for it. It seems familiar to me. In the past, I loved using physical USB drives. Now, this will be a familiar, relatable, and nostalgic way to keep my files.
