Legacy G Suite users - what are you going to do?

Just wondering if anyone else is still using the old free legacy G Suite account and what they're planning on doing?

I've completed the survey thing, there seems to be rumours they might do a family type workplace plan but we'll see about that.

I really only have 2 active 'users' and another for my Dad on a different G Suite.

Ugh still don't know what I'm going to do as I'm very much tied into Google services with my account. I think my Dad should be okay with Zoho, he only uses the account for email.


What I find more perplexing is they could just add a custom domain feature to Google One. You can already share Google One with family members so it's perfect really.

Someone on Reddit has put together a sheet comparing various email services - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gu8FFyNY1Y9X69kHmJvkI0fLv8GaK-5B6HnQZZzo1Nw/htmlview

@Scam I don't believe a paid Workplace account would make any difference to 'features' or oddities when it comes to Google Home.

It looks like this 'could' be the tool they'll provide to migrate from Legacy to standard 'Consumer' Google account which you then add GMail too.

Hopefully it's refined to use an existing GMail ) Google account? I have a very old @googlemail.com account which I'd be happy to use if I could move all my services data to that and then just use custom domain email elsewhere.

Ah good old Google.
