I’m all for bashing them for their shitty practices, but let’s be honest here. If you care about your memories, all you have to do is login once and they’re safe. If that’s unreasonable, I think that’s a you problem.

It’s also Google. You probably shouldn’t put anything on it that you’re not expecting to go away in a few years when the service shuts down.

At the very least, have a spare copy somewhere that isn’t likely to get wiped out.

But GMail isn’t going anywhere. There are surely very few more valuable places to harvest user data than reading all their emails.

Still big agree. Have a backup. Don’t trust corporations.

Mail likely isn’t going anywhere. A lot of corporations rely on Google workspace.
