Google Workspace has made the decision to stop offering G Suite Legacy Free to the grandfathered in users who have been using it for many years now. This was likely an attempt by Google to recoup the lost money from businesses getting away with not paying for a decade, and bring them on to the updated Google Workspace paid plans. What they did not anticipate, was angering their most loyal customer base, us admins who have been using Google Apps from the very beginning. We have added our family members, have over a decade of email history on our accounts, and have purchased content on the various services offered by Google using these accounts.
Listen as we discussed with Workspace experts the impact of this decision, Google's response and general surprise at the backlash, as well as a possible new offering for a Google Workspace Family Plan, and downgrade options.
