Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I have a feeling Google might not like the way Linus uses their product, but on the other hand they may see this as free advertising knowing most people won't use their limits. It's all speculation we're doing right now but from a business perspective, there are many plus points of Linus doing this. It's not just gsuite, but the more Google can integrate into a business, the better. Google Docs, Analytics, the ad platform, Gmail, Compute Engine etc etc. The more you rely on google, the more money you'll give to google.
They'll put up with a few abusers to attract the big money to potentially move ppl away from Amazon, Microsoft and Dropbox to keep all their business resources in one place.
Just remember, companies often pay for more than just gsuite. They'll pay into the ecosystem of Google.
On the other hand, Google could hate this and enforce limits on new accounts. I doubt they'll do it to existing accounts to not anger loyal customers (who can and will just go to their competitors). Also google have a history of leaving existing accounts alone when they make changes.
ITT: People acting like all of Linus subs will watch this video and then dump 100's of TB of data into the system.
Welp boys it was fun while it lasted.
Tbh it's not all bad, he didn't mention that they don't enforce the 5 user requirement, so that video won't probably bring too many users to the service.
Also they don't forcefully delete your files even if they decide to completely discontinue the unlimited plan.
Remember when homeboy uploaded nearly two petabytes of porn to Amazon Cloud Drive last summer? Did that cause Amazon to shut down the unlimited tier, or was it just a coincidence?
I wished he would credit rclone more. In the last image he even cropped the name out - no link whatsoever at the end. Cmon. If you use a 3d party tool that is the key in your solution you could treat it with more respect.
I am subscriber of his channel and he has nice projects and interesting insights, but I feel really uncomfortable with his 'acting character voice'. It annoys me a lot. Just give me the info in a normal speaking voice. Why all the drama. But that is just my view of things. A lot of people like him for that.
lmao google knows everything, why are you mad? thats so stupid
Welp, let's hope Linus doesn't single-handedly fuck up unlimited g-suite for everyone.
After watching the video I'm convinced they just ripped all the knowledge from perusing /r/datahoarder and are passing it off as their own.
