⚠️ 6 Cloud Storage Gotchas to Watch For
Data Deletion After Downgrade:HIGH If you downgrade to a lower tier or free plan, excess files may be automatically deleted after a short grace period (often just 30 days)
Account Inactivity Deletion:HIGH Many services delete all data after 12-24 months of account inactivity, even if you're paying—check what counts as "activity"
Sharing Link Liability:MEDIUM You may be held responsible for how others use files you share, including copyright claims and bandwidth overages
Content Scanning Rights:MEDIUM Many providers scan your files for "policy violations" using AI, which may flag legitimate content and trigger account restrictions
Sync Deletion Propagation:HIGH Files deleted on one synced device may be permanently removed from cloud backups, often with no recovery option after trash is emptied
Export/Download Limitations:MEDIUM Bandwidth limits or slow export tools can make it difficult to migrate large amounts of data if you want to switch providers
