I have had a Google account for quite a while. I got a fairly early Gmail account when it was apply for an invite only. I had a G+ account that was taken around the back and a single shot heard. That was well after my home page of links thingie was unceremoniously put down (I can't even remember what that was called).

I would not dream of actually putting anything useful into a Google account. The most basic of due-dil process should ring an alarm bell enough to awaken the dead.

Entrusting your corporate data to Google is playing a form of Russian Roulette. Do ensure you have local backups. I understand why unprofitable products get dropped by Google - my company does the same thing. However, I'm not running a hyper-scaler cloud. A common misconception about the cloud is that you simply divest all responsibility and shove your stuff into it and all will be well.
