“Among the items deemed inappropriate and unshareable include
notes on Henry David Thoreau (“the published version of this item
cannot be shared until a Google review finds that the content is
appropriate”), homework assignments, high school yearbook plans,
wishlists, documents containing botanical names for plants, a list
of websites for an ecommerce class, and a list of companies that
rent motorcycles in Canada. When it comes to support in the cloud,
it kind of looks like you might get what you pay for.”
