Google Drive – How do I stop others from sharing files with me?

I mean, no it isn’t.

At the same time, an operation which works like this is certainly extremely flawed. I doubt there’s one engineer working on GDrive that doesn’t think a folder size feature wouldn’t be useful and relatively simple to implement. So that’s more of an argument towards the operation going bad, instead of the engineers.

Maybe this slipped through the cracks but this thread already contains a bunch of examples of stuff like this happening.

They can be architecting Tensorflow really well and that certainly is impressive but when GMail takes 3 seconds to load the main page and downloads 10MB during that process you know something is going wrong.

3 seconds to load the main page is a complaint? How far we've come and how little we actually travelled.

3 seconds to download 10 megs.

I remember when using a 300 baud modem each letter would slowly appear.

The speed of a car stuck in first gear is impressive next to a horse-drawn carriage. Something is still broken.
