Google Drive file retention?

I'm confused about Google Drive. Will they delete or retain your files if you stop subscribing? The table is not clear. SharkD Talk 06:22, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What e meaningful information

This combination of unclear and contradicting statements almost makes the article a promotional list

1) The legend

No restriction

2) The column Direct Access

Direct access^{[1 1]}
Yes

3) The footnote

^ For paying users there is usually a direct access possible.

I am reading this:
Excellent, it is in green and there is no restriction to the Direct access.
Wait, there is no restriction only for paid accounts.
Oops, there could be no restriction if you pay, but it could be still restricted.
Why then it is in green color?
Never mind, close this page and forget.

Yes, it is very difficult or even impossible to fix this - a rational fix could be removal of the column, as well as the other similar columns.

Just to pay attention to readers. Dobrichev (talk) 10:01, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the Direct Access and File Expiration columns for the time being. 192.17.218.50 (talk) 21:13, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additional useful columns

Hi, thanks and greetings to all wikipediars

I think some useful colums to add since i can't found compiled info anywhere are:

download speed
file expiration time (until was deleted)
support for annonymous uploads (no registration/login needed)

Hello and thanks for this useful comparison table! I think another useful column would be whether there is a phone app enabling access to this cloud, like Dropbox and Nextcloud.

a webdav support column would be extremely handy
"citation needed" under the Office 365 OneDrive text is nonsense since about everyone uses this, pretty clear it is 5 Tb to about everyone — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.80.200.208 (talk) 14:14, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Terabox

What about Terabox? Kerplunk! (talk) 23:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[ReferenceA-1] For paying users there is usually a direct access possible.
