The Privacy Problem with Google Drive

🔍 Content Scanning

Google's AI actively scans all files uploaded to Drive. They claim it's for "security" and "features," but your private documents, photos, and videos are being analyzed by their algorithms.

📊 Data Mining

Everything you store contributes to Google's profile about you. File types, content themes, and usage patterns all feed into their advertising machine.

🏛️ Government Access

Google regularly complies with government data requests. Your files stored on their servers can be accessed by authorities without your knowledge.

🚫 No Real Deletion

Even when you "delete" files, Google keeps them in their systems for extended periods. With BurritoShare, files are never stored to begin with.

The Ecosystem Trap

Google's Web

Google Drive is designed to lock you into their ecosystem:

  • Requires Google account
  • Integrates with Gmail, Photos, Docs
  • Hard to leave once invested
  • Your data becomes their asset

BurritoShare Freedom

We believe in digital independence:

  • No account needed ever
  • Works with any service
  • No lock-in or commitment
  • Your data remains yours alone
