Android rolls out local ‘Documents’ backup, syncs to Google Drive

syncs to Google Drive

and feeds Google data to monetize and train AI on.

The EU should require such tightly integrated monetizable features in dominant operating systems be developed in a service provider agnostic manner, so as to not require the use of or default to Google Drive.

I see. So, alongside making your backup storage count towards you limit, they're trying to make you hit your free limit and start paying (or pay more) for a subscription.

Typical en-💩-fication move.

So, what I've been doing for 15 years to my own desktop/laptop using tools like Syncthing, ResilioSync, FolderSync, etc.

Get bent Google.

Right after Google announced that all synced data will start counting to Drive's data limit.
