Google finally takes the step and will charge users of Google Workspace, the free G Suite from years ago

Those from Mountain View have made a decision that users who have free G Suit accounts may not like, and that is that they will start charging for these services.

You may still have a G Suit account active and working to its full potential, but Google has some plans that you may not like at all.

And, it is that, at the launch of G Suit, Google offered the possibility of creating free accounts. This movement by those in Mountain View made many companies take advantage of these free accounts.

What happened is that, after six years of offering these free accounts, Google stopped offering them. But, what happened to the users who still had these types of accounts created in 2006?

Until today these users could use these accounts in a normal way. Come on, the change did not affect them at all. Now Google wants to change this and it will do so by turning off the faucet.

This decision may be motivated by the change from G Suit to Workspace, but the important thing is that all those users who had a free account will have to switch to a paid one if they want to continue using the service.

Yes, the change is quite drastic for those users who started with completely free accounts. The key date to make the change will be May 1, 2022.

In the event that you have not changed your account to a paid account, what will happen is that Google itself will make the change. In fact, the plan that Mountain View chooses may not suit you too much.

There are two recommended and logical options. The first is, if Workspace services are needed, pay to use the service; while the second is to stop using these services.

If we do not opt ​​for a payment plan and we do not cancel the service either, Google will block applications such as Gmail, Meet or the same calendar. So it seems that the situation is serious.

Of course, we will have to wait to know the reaction of the users. And, it is that, the movement by Google is not something that can be taken lightly for many people assiduous to use the G Suit service.

At the moment the only thing that can be done is to see how Google’s plans develop. The safest thing is that other companies see the opportunity that Google leaves by not offering a professional suit of free integrated services.
