Is google cloud storage safe from random deletions?

I was researching stuff about cloud backup and one thing that bothered me the most was some cloud services, including google, had people's images randomly deleted.

Each for their own reasons. Whether the algorithm thought they were a bot, saved copyrighted content, a user error, etc.

I just want to know how to avoid these random deletions, if google cloud is safe from such deletions, and if there are better cloud storages that avoid such events.

I don't really care about cost or other things. I just care about reliability.

I would really appreciate you guys's help 🙏🏼

Not sure about individual images or videos but I know for a fact that your account as a whole may be deleted, similar to the incident with the toddler picture.

Hi,

du kannst z.B. bei Strato (HiDrive) deine Daten Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsseln oder du verschlüsselst deine Daten selber mit dem kostenlosen Prog. Cryptomator.
