Google Poly will be shutting down on June 30, 2021 (opens in new tab)

Oh, well. Thank you, Google! You're so nice to the stupid of us who invest time and energy into your ecosystem! It feels nice to be human guinea pigs!

It's hard to justify putting any data on Google services these days with how often they shut them down or add restrictions which make it impractical to continue using.

Dear Poly users,

We’re sending this note to let you know that, on June 30, 2021, the Poly website will be shutting down. The ability to upload 3D models on poly.google.com will be shut down on April 30, 2021.

What does this mean for you?

Your assets will be available at poly.google.com until June 30, 2021. You can download your entire library at takeout.google.com/settings/takeout/custom/poly, or you can download individual assets by viewing each asset’s page. After June 30, poly.google.com and associated APIs will no longer be accessible. You will not be able to upload new 3D models on poly.google.com after April 30, 2021.

We want to thank you for joining us on this journey. We appreciate you trusting us to host your assets and provide a space where they can shine. The amazing work that our users have uploaded to Poly every day has surprised, humbled, and delighted us, and we have you to thank.

Thanks, The Poly Team Poly

I'm not familiar with Poly. Is this what backs online storage for Google Blocks?

How important was this Product to the game/art ecosystem?
