<br>
Thank you for all the feedback, greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
I read an article yesterday which said that in the same way that GMail <br>
parses email content for AI learning and targeting ads, that Google <br>
cloud storage may also index content, including facial recognition, with <br>
any photo's, for behaviour learning and targeted ads.<br>
That's one of the reasons I'm not keen to store data on Google cloud. <br>
They're on a need-to-know basis with my activities.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know if Microsoft, AWS or other providers may allow <br>
themselves access to stored files?<br>
