That's definitely more than 15 GB of free space given by Google! Great work!
why people keep buying android or google devices?

Why don't they buy alternate devices without android or google?

I am surprised because google review team rejects half of my extensions and apps.

Sometimes things don't make sense to me, like how "Uber Driver app access background location and there is no way to change that from settings" - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/783227

I have created OpenSpend recently but still very early stages.

What is that FBI wants to hide but not making it public and why?
This exactly what was happening with me and I recently started a project called Postbase to setup my own cloud infrastructure. There is so much free OSS software out there which is 100x better than what Google, Amazon and other offer. github.com/umrashrf/postbase (this is in alpha and work in progress).
