I think it’s kind of extortion to offer free storage and then to change their mind.
Apparently google were caught out by people exploiting their storage with unimagined quantities of material. In a recent press statement they mentioned a user called Trollheart in particular.

While this is a safe method it is by no means for eternity. HDDs break as regularly as anything else. I've had at least four go belly-up on me in the last few years. Of course, if you don't actually use them on a daily basis, just put them away and only hook them up when you need to do backup or restore, they'll last longer. But, as they said in the Cadbury's Creme Eggs ads once, they ain't here forever, Trevor!

I'd definitely recommend an online solution like Dropbox or OneDrive or something, as well as other ideas such as thumb drives and such. Forget about DVDs; over a few years they degrade and most of what you wanted to save will be unreadable by the laser.

No that was Backblaze. They foolishly set no limit, now they're backing up 15 terabytes for me for a paltry six dollars a month!

I have floppy discs that are safe for eternity, but I don't think the tech to read them will last forever.

Here's a decent read: https://www.computerweekly.com/featu...ure-of-storage
