Nope, never happened to me. Not related to Safari. Google told you what the issue was. Looks like Google protecting your account?

I think it has to do something with me downloading 330 pictures from my gmail account from 40 different separate emails.

I just can’t get a straight answer from google.

Ya, peerhaps...I get the feeling Google is too overly cautious. You may be doing nothing wrong, but Google loweres the threshold of what would flag issues, and that gives a good augment.

I think my theory would be correct, because every single VPN server you use gets flagged as "unusual" No way that can happen unless Google trying to prove something.
