Man brings forth innumerable things to nurture Google Drive. Google Drive has nothing good with which to recompense Man. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.

I have a problem with Amazon Drive going away for non-photos on December 31st.
For a while, they had unlimited storage and you could use a Linux API to access it -- I stored 8TB of data.
Then they set a quota, but for those over quota it was read-only. Oh, and Linux access no longer works.
Now they've set a deadline to have everything off by December 31st, but the Windows app still doesn't work (constantly crashing) and I see no way to get my files.
Rclone?
No way in hell I'd trust just one backup method for my data.
A 6 TB drive is less than $100 on Amazon and two cloud backups is like $30 extra a year.
