Just moved my legacy plan over to the 'new' personal use/free plan and it seems fine. Good grief how this wasn't the plan from the very start is just beyond me. I hope the complete trashing of trust and perception with the earliest and most tech connected users was worth it, Google.

#12Load of my shoulders. As much as I hate to be beholden to Google, both my parents (in their 70s) use our gsuit account with custom domain and migrating them to a different service was … well, you know how it goes. The cost was a bit much.
So thanks Google.

#13Thanks for the unnecessary anxiety Google! I wish I could get back the wasted brain cycles spent contemplating how the fuck I was going to transition my family to something else.

#14I transitioned to fastmail for e-mail and am happy I did. I really like google docs and google sheets, but I'm moving off of google drive for everything else and just using syncthing.
Same. I recently moved to iOS and I found the Gmail app to be pretty buggy. Staring emails worked about 50% of the time, scrolling in HTML emails was very janky, clicking on a notification and reading an email didn't mark the email as read. This plus the Gsuite transition pushed me to Fastmail. I now use that plus the native iOS mail app and I have no complaints.

#15Hmm, I already opted in to Google Workspace, even though I only use the account for personal use. I wonder if there will be an option to switch?

Same boat, of course not. Google can take a hike.

I would love to know this too. Should have waited it out...

#18Huh.
Well, I already moved my custom domain email over to fastmail.
Been meaning to for a while anyway... I'd rather pay them a few bucks than keep having Google do whatever it was they were doing with my email (maybe nothing all that bad, but who the hell knows?)
The transition was smooth.

#19Good things come to those who procrastinate, I guess.
