You'll find out what 'unlimited' means in SaaS speak very, very much sooner than you expect if you tried really to utilize it.

You'd be surprised. Google has a lot of storage lying around, it takes them a while to notice it being used up. I know of at least three people who on the order of petabytes of data on Google Drive.

They took action against one organisation that had multiple 10PB+ users but Google really doesn't seem to care that much about the tertiary institutes giving unlimited GDrive accounts to every data hoarder who pretends to enrol.

You can. Create multiple service accounts, add them to the Shared drives and connect the service accounts using Rclone, a CLI tool that allows you to perform I/O operations on multiple cloud storage.

Once a service account reached the limit, switch to another.

"without somewhat workarounds" sometimes I wonder about people.
