I upload a large document to your drive product from my workstation.
I go to search on my phone.
My phone needs to download the content in order to index it.
My phone downloads the content from you. You pay for the bandwidth.
If I provision a new device, and it needs a new search index, it needs to download all of my content once, in order to populate the local index of the content.
If I'm something like a youtube content producer, I might put extremely large files in the drive. Per the blog post all the other devices signed into drive will see this new file and pull it down to index it.
So if I upload a 15gb video from my iphone to later process it on the workstation, my laptop, ipad and workstation will all download it. That means you need to serve up 45gb of bandwidth. Cost of operation as described in post above.
