It’s impossible to get them to respond to my emails with a paid account. I have an enterprise account with a dedicated rep. To increase the number of seats on your contract you have to request that they do it. I had run out of seats and with a new dev starting it took a few days and emails to get the guy to do anything. I’m try to give you MORE money and it’s like pulling teeth. They’re my only option with Gitlab’s insane price increase.
Many companies already pay for Google Workspace so Google Drive is included.
And for personal use, it's much cheaper than Dropbox.
I pay R$6.99/month for 100GB of Google storage (most of which is used by Google Photos), while Dropbox costs R$10/month for 50GB of storage and doesn't integrate very well with Google Photos.
Not to be glib, but this episode is a little reminder of why that's not always the case. Priceless data now lost (if it is in fact conclusively/irreoverably lost) demonstrates that sometimes in life, its the free or cheap things that end up costing us the most :(
