Hi 1Hackers, Good Day! I bought an EDU email to someone and I backed up all my files in my computer to google drive. I shared the folder in google drive to my personal Gmail account. My question is, if the EDU mail got busted will I still have access to my files since I shared the folder to my personal gmail? I would appreciate your help. thanks ---

Administrator of EDU Mail can delete Your files anytime there is no guarantee the files will be always there. u might get warning to take backup of files but thats also not for sure. hope that helps ---

Yes, you will still have access to the files even after the account gets disabled. But I’m not sure how long does that works. ---

Are you sure ? coz while registering edu mail college website and even google says Administrator have rights to delete Gdrive for inactive students or who they seems to have suspicious activity ---

@Deep90s: Yes, I’m sure. It works. It’s just that I’m not sure whats the validity of this. I know they delete the files but only after a certain period. You still have a few weeks or months before they delete the files. @Sam_Lopez: Does he have more in stock? I also need to buy one. I can pay a little extra too. ---
