It is a pain to use IMO.

You get a mail sometime in the future and after receiving it you have to turn around and download multiple chunks, log in for each of them and do it quickly before they disappear.

Probably more of a pain if you have a large amount of data and a slow internet connection. For me it all fits in the 50GB file and downloads in a few minutes. I guess pulling out 1TB of data on a slow connection would be difficult but I can’t see how google could make it better since downloading and extracting a 1TB zip on its own would be almost impossible.

mega.nz somehow managed to do this all encrypted. Dunno if its "NH approved encryption" also dont advice on using that service it has a bad reputation. Nonetheless it seems like it would technically be possible to have large amount encrypted files without losing the ability to handle single files and download whole folders as archive.
