Hmm, unfortunate if they discontinued it. Maybe my account was grandfathered in.
Not sure what subscription you're on but the highest tier still has "as much storage as you need" or similar wording. I assume they've moved away from the unlimited wording because it was abused.
R.I.P. $7/mo unlimited storage plan.
We switched from Google to Zoho Workspace last year once they threatened to stop support to the "legacy" users. Comparable service and much less expensive.
Zoho is great, if you only need email and basics. O365 and GSuite are still unmatched as a package though. Still think O365 is the best deal (for SMBs+), though it's a bit more.
And Meet is amazing. The only video conferencing system I've used that actually works reliably. I recently moved from a company using Zoom to one using Meet and the difference is insane. Makes a step difference to the quality of remote work.
I presume they can do it because Google owns their own global network and they can use high QoS on it for Meet data.
It is time for me to evaluate my custom domain email service. I had the original/free Google workspace with custom email domain. In 2021, they charged me $6/month to keep that option afloat. To be honest, I think $6/month is a bit expensive for just email usage. I don't even use any other stuff coming with Suite. My question for this group: how do I get out of this without losing my email domain?

I tried moving away from Workspace to Offi^H^H^HMicrosoft 365 last month. I chose 365 since my wife primarily uses a Surface and Microsoft products, which would make it easy for us to collaborate. It looks like an excellent solution for SMBs or larger who have a dedicated admin that can tend to it. For a nobody like me, it was a hot goddamned mess. Death by a few big cuts and thousands of small ones. These are the th…
What’s OMicrosoft 365?
It’s sad to see the “digital magic economies” of software slowly transform to normal commodity slow price increases to support brands and locked in markets.
I guess it will be a race to suck between Office and Google.
I hope an innovator comes along and provides a software layer on top of cloud storage like Dropbox (that isn’t tied to a particular storage like Dropbox is). Software should cost $100/year for your entire life.

+1 for Zoho. They offer a all the services needed at a very convenient pricing.
The pricing is good, but the experience for mail is poor. I move from Zoho to Fastmail a year later and it’s a much slicker experience. (Just mail, I didn’t use any of Zoho’s collaborative tools.)

It is worth noting one of the features you give up is any sense of security or privacy what so ever. Not in the "omg google is spying on me" paranoia sense, but in the real Zoho hires the absolute cheapest developers in the world to build everything sense.
I've literally stopped reporting bugs to them because they can't grasp the flaws I am trying to point out.
My company was forced to move from our previous G Suite plan to Google Workspace. In order to keep the same monthly price, we went with Business Starter. Now each user can only share a Google Doc with 5 non-Google users per month . This limitation seems entirely artificial and designed entirely to push people onto more expensive plans.

Works beautifully
I do miss Gmail, but it's easy to workaround it
