How do you gain data on compressed files?
The title?

Or do they go ahead and uncompress your shit with an algorithm? Do they analyze images?

Mirrored copies of all non encrypted data is automatically sorted. Image nonrecognition to flag potentially important data.

Encrypted data has a mild brute force and dictionary attack performed to see if you have weak passwords.

That's why I only ever cloud share zip bombs. 42 kilobytes turns into 4.5 petabytes when uncompressed.

Link to such a zip bomb?

I'm sure google can figure out if your zip is a zip bomb before they waste time unzipping it.

>Free Software in a nutshell

Ok

Google expects people not to use all their free space. So they can simply carry the service with the existing capabilities they have.

And then they make extra money by selling storage space and google business accounts.

In the Netherlands there a vps provider that offers 1 terabyte encrypted free storage for free. Which they just do as a marketing ploy. In a radio interview the interviewer asked what they would do if people would actually start using the terabytes. And the owner said: "run".

Cry moar anon. Please tell me moar about wasting time and about how cucked you are that you get tiggered by a fucking image.

The same reasons Microsoft makes money off of having Office for free with the online version, and why Adobe doesn't care about people pirating Photoshop.

It gets people accustomed to their products so when they go into the professional field they have to pay for the business/enterprise versions of their software/service.

Why are all the google logos so shit?
Get to work /g/

Google can afford it because they make billions in ad revenue and selling your data
Storage hard drives are very cheap.
Smaller ones make money by providing high bandwidth/available everywhere gimmicks but with subscription fees.

They don't. They do it for humanity. You'll understand when you grow up.

Don't listen to freetards saying 'they steal ur data reeeee'

Wow. People sure are dumb. The business sector is the driving force behind their revenue. Only 3 replies were correct. The rest was tinfoil hat wearing nonsense.

>>59741218
Stop projecting your insecurities.

main takeaway from this thread is, nobody actually knows

therefore don't use this shit service and stay local

>>59739141
Who cares. Human animals are cancerous.

As incentive to get you on their ecosystem.

they sell ad data. if they find gay porn in your google drive they'll sell you aids medication

>>59740172
All those plans have unlimited bandwidth?

KEK, Thanks for sharing that, I was a little bit mad that I can't use it because of the country restriction.

>>59738683
Google doesn't need to make money from it. Other companies like Dropbox and Box.com are just playing with investor money, once the music stops they're dead in the water.

Seriously, as much as people say "muh ur the customer" and "muh sells data", that's not really the case. There are tons of things that Google does simply to establish its hegemony in the internet space.

>>59744026
It's the same people who say "muh invaded Iraq for the oil". You think America gives a shit about the oil? It spends more in a month of war than it could ever make from the oil of whatever country. It's simply a dick-waving contest.
