It might be the best time to download a copy of your Google Drive data, plus your emails, just in case...

Also set up a non-Gmail email and redirect your account recovery across all services there, because if Google suddenly bans you from Gmail and it's your only recovery email for a service, you may get locked out of it permanently.

This is one of the reasons why I don't buy digital assets.

And when I buy them I ensure they are not tied to automated faceless recovery mechanisms.

I use google photos, and I will have to pay for it starting june, but I keep offline backups.

Of course, I pay for non-critical from big tech like Spotify which I don't care if I suddenly lose my account tomorrow.

Why is this down voted? I've been locked out of my google account because of misbehaving AI and I seriously regret not downloading my photos and emails.
