Am I allowed to use gmail solely as a free remote backup disk space? Is it safe?
Posted on May 1st, 2010 by Nick Kurentz
I couldn’t find anything explicitly related to this use of a Gmail account in their terms and conditions. Is it OK with Google if I create e.g. 10 accounts in Gmail to have 70GB remote disk space only to backup my files regularly, without using those accounts as a proper “mail-box”?
Will Google consider this an abuse of the service and shut down the account, or will it be considered an acceptable use of the service?
The last thing I want is to see the accounts are blocked and I have lost my access to the backup files.
