Considering that even with one of the cheapest storage services, B2, 250ishTB is about $1500/month(that's more than $5500/m in S3!) whereas Gsuite seems to be about less than $200, I would've never guessed that I could use it as is for a long time.

Extremely shitty of google to do this though. What a shame.

I was just checking and it’s $1,600/mo to transfer it over to wasabi but how long would that take? I really hope Google does the right thing but that is not their MO these days.
