If I were you I'd back the whole of your Google account up ASAP. It wouldn't be unheard of for Google to suspend your entire account for a violation on a single product.
Remember, Google can just outright ban your full account and not explain why.
Read about google shutting down accounts and never restoring it.
Welcome to Google. I know it sounds like cheap answer, but yes, some people lost access to their entire google related accounts including GMAIL and DRIVE when they were banned from specific services, like adsense for instance.
I think the GP meant what if Google erroneously block access to your account for a supposed T&C violation or what have you.
I lost mine a few years ago, since then Google is an absolute no go for me.Had it for a few years back then and never did anything bad or oblique with it, just used it as my secondary email account and also for deploying a small, harmless Chrome extension to the Chrome store.So one day my wife bought a tablet and also registered a mandatory account. 1-2 days later my and her Google account was terminated. I mailed support and they told me they couldn't tell me the reason for terminati
Based on previous stories of people losing access to their Google accounts and can't get answer as to why, no thanks.
Sometimes there is not much back story. Google has banned entire accounts for far less; not using Google wallet, apps similar to each other, using donation links. You lose everything, drive, Gmail, domain accounts, AdWords, chrome login.. wait until they make Google search only to registered users
Until Google bans your account completely across all services with no means for appeal.
If you use Google services eventually this is going to happen, its common and widespread and they aren't interested in fixing the problem. You never get an answer as to what you did wrong and likely it was just an algorithm error anyway. Avoid anything of substance on a google account and what you do use assume it could disappear tomorrow.
