Fails that kill annual

• Ticket on Google Drive/Dropbox with no ID.
• Reply on OneDrive bot-only with no escalate path.
• “best cloud storage solutions” without a timestamped shot.
• Incomplete lab with 1 ticket(s).

SLA go / no-go

Annual on compare-cloud only with first human reply <= 60 min and a shot. Otherwise stay monthly.

Compare Cloud revisits when “what is cloud storage” or “best cloud storage service” change support channels.

Kit: ticket ID, timestamps, human shot, channel, sentence tying “best cloud storage for business” to SLA.

Compare Cloud (compare-cloud) treats “what is cloud storage” as a support SLA stopwatch for cloud storage: first human reply before annual.

Signals (“best cloud storage service”, “best cloud storage for business”, “best cloud storage solutions”) only count after opening a real ticket on Google Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive and timing the clock.

Rule: if first human reply > 60 min (or bot-only), freeze annual.

cost per active GB. Add storage + transfer for the month on Google Drive; open 1 ticket(s) outside marketing hours.

version / restore. Restore a 30-day-old file on Dropbox; note channel (chat/email) and timestamp.

data exit. Export a package and open offline on OneDrive. No first-human-reply shot → test fails.
