    A light breeze is enough for Google to lock accounts, and they make it nearly impossible to re-access. And they have no reliable customer service you can call or email.

    But the final straw for me was when they started this bullshit of saying “tell me your phone number so we can make sure it’s you”. They never had my number in the first place, so it was clear that this was pure bullshit of them trying to associate real world identities with their accounts.

    After that, I said “fuck em”, changed to other providers, and haven’t look back since.

    Go ahead and delete my accounts - your service is pure garbage anyway.

      Other accounts like how? The only good alternative I have is one drive to replace Google drive. Nothing for all their other stuff

        There’s tons of email providers out there. I bought a domain and rented a small VM for some learning about servers and the company provides a direct email service with the domain. Now I have unlimited mail-accounts with my own domain name and Google can fuck right off.
