π Google Account and Google Drive Management Blueprint
Purpose

- π Prevent duplication of files
- π Keep projects separated by purpose
- π Simplify backups
- π Improve long-term organisation
- π Support PlebMachine and PlebWare development
- π Create a clear publishing workflow
- π Protect important documents
π Master Rule
Every Google Account should have a clearly defined role.
