It's Google and it's just a place to put data. Google won't lose your data. If they shutter, you'll have 2 years to move that data to ACME Drive.
Just to be absolutely clear... you'll have 2 years to drag and drop a folder to another location.
I entirely agree with this. I am surprised that no one brought it up earlier.
What profitable projects have they dropped that would be along the same impact as Google Drive?
Are you saying they may significantly cut down the cloud capabilities?

Google Checkout.
Didn't it just get merged with Wallet?

Google Checkout had subscriptions.
Google Wallet does not have subscriptions.

Ok, it looks like subscriptions. Though it does not allow me to charge my customers who subscribed for Google Checkout.
And it's definitely not the same API as Google Checkout.
None of my customers missed Google Checkout. I got burned by losing subscriptions due to Google Checkout retirement.
I'm not going to touch Google Wallet.
There is a legitimate reason to be wary of relying on anything Google.
