This isn't some side project like Wave that they'll cut off. It sounds like a pretty core business. If anything it will get renamed and take on a different form in a couple yrs, but I doubt they'd ever stop offering a cloud service like Drive.

But still, this is a very valid point. It's hard to trust any Google service and it's risky to make any significant investment of time structuring your life around them. This is why I don't use Google Music anymore. I invest far too much time into my playlists and music collections to trust them.

Wave was launched to a ton of fan-fare and seemed like a first-order product, similar to Hangouts... which is now also dying a slow death.

I wouldn't be so sure that they won't cut it off.

For example, they have already removed the marketing page that people here are making fun of: https://imgur.com/a/xsF1ZX3

Ha, amazing. Not only are they bad at it, they are thin-skinned too.

Everything in Google apart from Search are side projects. And Everything in Google that you didn't paid for have a high chance of getting cut off.

It is actually quite simple, no revenue no services.

I've had pretty good luck with apps like songshift to migrate between services. It's never %100, but pretty decent.
