Small question about Google Drive shared drives

Hi everyone.

A couple of months ago i've found a way to get Google Drive shared drives with unlimited storage and i've though they can be a free and safe (??) way to store large amount of files and share them on here.
Is there any way Google can take down any of these drives/accounts, given the fact that they cannot be made public, only shared with specific users?
Of course, that's also its weakness, a drive cannot be made public, only shared with users that requested it so.
But it could be a nice way to archive all those files that were constantly deleted by Mega.

Obviously, if someone already tried it and failed, this is just a long dumb question, and i sincerely apologize.

Thanks for your time!

Google knows EVERYTHING. It's not because some files are private and invisible to your friends that they are not known to Google. Plus with their accounts cookies, they have logs of everything you do on the web, and so for those who you share your files with. They won't tell you per say, but they know your favorite porn scenes. :evil:

If you share a file with a "friend" who happen to be a representative of a copyright owner issuing a takedown request, either the file or the whole account can be taken down. It's only a matter of time.
:rip:

Google knows everything and at this point I'm too lazy to care.

I am a raindrop in an ocean.

What is an ocean but a multitude of drops?
