I was fortunate enough to get the drive storage gift just before it was reduced and so I got 1TB. My question however is once your 2 years is up, is there any means to retain that extra storage space?
When it disappeared, did your files remain like @JeslynL says? Or did you loose any files that were beyond what your storage went down to once you lost your 1TB?
@Warjat, sorry, I can see how my response was confusing, I just meant the storage space disappeared. I was too worried on what would happen and actually upgraded before it ran out.
Given that @JeslynL is a moderator, I feel their opinion would be best.
I just lost my 100gig free storage. I'm now at 500% used on my drive, my files still exist but I will soon no longer be able to even receive gmail emails etc.
This sounds like a nice perk, but its used could affect the available resources for other paying customers. I suspect, this option is under debate at GoogleHQ.
If it were to be provided, I would think some restrictions may apply (e.g.: for use with your Local Guide site).
Then again, maybe Google already has a solution in place that identifies the data type and routes it efficiently through their network for optimum performance (just saying...).
