The extra extra fun part is to then offer you the opportunity to pay for bigger storage!

The cherry on top, you can't say no. You can only tell them to “ask you later”.

At least they're being honest with that. You know they'd keep asking you after choosing "no".

I got a great idea.

While we're sucking up every single file, let's also do daily, non incremental backups

We'll hit the free storage limit it no time and then we can start sending DIRE messages about how the users data won't be PROPERLY backed up anymore.

Then we can upsell them in an outrageously priced storage plan that won't even last a year of these daily backups so we can start the process over again.
