aaur4man Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The thing about "cloud drive" is where they are hosted. Major ones like Gdrive ,OneDrive and Dropbox are good as they have good connection to sg so download and upload is faster. Cheap ones have to consider where they are set up. Likely transfer speed will be slower than the big ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing Birdy Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. I predict this will work until it suddenly doesn't and the seller run road and cannot be contactable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL;DR: Stolen 1 Official Mugentech Minecraft server: Please see thread in Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The product "Highlights" says Quote 100% Safe You will be the only one in the drive - As a manager of the shared drive Google Drive Unlimited Storage Your personal account will remain unaffected and will still have 15GB of storage. A new Drive under Shared Drives will be added to your Google Drive, it will have unlimited storage. You can upload whatever and how much ever you want. I have friends upload multiple TBs of data. I will not have access to your data. I recommend using Air Explorer instead of the web interface to manage your Drive on Desktop as it has added functionality. Google Photos app won't automatically sync your Photos to the Unlimited Drive, however you can use another app [MiXplorer] to sync your Photos and everything else Link sharing folders on shared drives is not allowed by Google Validity: Lifetime Is this typical of corporate shared drives? I was suspecting. The seller may have a Huge storage capacity Shared drive and sell off by sharing access to his account. Like someone mentioned above. However, the highlighted points states otherwise. if the stolen G-drive account are sold off as a full account then its not so bad (eg those cracked MS software licenses). But if its sold as a part of a large account then security is a suspect. What do u guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
