Storage limit, price and plan changes at the consumer cloud services, account inactivity and deletion policies, photo and file service shutdowns with export deadlines, backup service and external drive changes, data loss incidents and recovery, family plan and sharing rule changes, encryption and government access policy changes and free storage promotions, with the service first and what a user should do before the date.
- Google One and Google Photos, Apple iCloud, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon Photos, Box, pCloud, Sync.com, Proton Drive, MEGA, IDrive, Backblaze, Carbonite, Flickr, SmugMug, Shutterfly, Snapfish and Ancestry storage

- Western Digital, Seagate, Synology and Samsung drive and NAS advisories
- Free storage promotions
Why it matters
A free tier cut that stops backups silently, an inactivity policy that deletes the photos of a late relative, or a shutdown with a 60-day export window are each losses no refund fixes. One notice in time is worth years of membership.
Who it is for
- Everyone whose photos, documents and memories live in an account they have not checked since they set it up.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Monday 17:00 UTC. Storage providers announce limit and policy changes at the start of the week with 30 to 90 days of notice
How to operate it
Nobody runs Cloud Storage & Data Backup Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.
Connect the assistant you already use
One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Cloud Storage & Data Backup WatchTrack consumer cloud storage and backup. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: storage limit, price, plan and free-tier changes at Google One and Google Photos, Apple iCloud, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon Photos, Box, pCloud, Sync.com, Proton Drive, MEGA, IDrive, Backblaze, Carbonite, Flickr, SmugMug, Shutterfly, Snapfish and Ancestry, with effective dates; account inactivity, deletion and retention policy changes; service shutdowns, feature retirements and export deadlines; family plan, sharing and legacy contact rule changes; encryption, government access and AI training policy changes; outages over four hours and data loss incidents with recovery guidance; Western Digital, Seagate, Synology and Samsung drive and NAS firmware advisories and recalls; and free storage promotions. Prefer provider announcements, help centers, status pages, manufacturer advisories and established tech reporting; ignore rumors and unverified complaints. Put the service first in the title and state what a user should do before the date. Use high severity for a free-tier cut that stops backups, a deletion policy with a deadline, a shutdown, or a data loss incident. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
