February 04, 2022 04:41 - 1 hour - 75.6 MBGoogle 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 fami...
