How is Google getting rich off his free account?

No no. If a company isn’t spending more than it’s making, it’s 100% evil.

I have a problem with Amazon Drive going away for non-photos on December 31st.

For a while, they had unlimited storage and you could use a Linux API to access it – I stored 8TB of data.

Then they set a quota, but for those over quota it was read-only. Oh, and Linux access no longer works.

Now they’ve set a deadline to have everything off by December 31st, but the Windows app still doesn’t work (constantly crashing) and I see no way to get my files.
