Google is going to start billing me for my super idle "business" account that just hosts domain emails.

So I was trying to back up the data, and now they say I can't download the backup because they can't verify the browser.

Holding my data hostage. Classic google move.

Currently planning to sign up for Fastmail and tell google to get in the sea.
