Question

Posted

I have a quick question on what would happen if I did the following-

Compress, zip, tarball, whatever 4.9 TB (just under the 5TB individual file limit) of files and put it in CloudDrive. The 750GB daily limit would be triggered, but google allows a single file to be uploaded before killing the quota for 24 hours.

In theory, you could upload 4.9TB, and unzip it to stay ahead of the daily limit, but obviously here's the question- when it goes up would it be split up so that it would still be seen as individual files? If not, would it then need to be re-downloaded to decompress thus triggering the 750GB limit?

Your thinking outside the box a bit, but the Cloud drive shows up as little chunks in Google Drive, to Unzip it, your going to have to download it again and upload the information back. also you're uploading small chunks of files you'll hit the limit well before you get it all up.
