I am the sole IT guy in a small private school and we are currently on the free Google for Education plan. If we were to upgrade we'd be paying in the neighborhood of $840 a month, or $10k a year and that would be a big chunk of the education budget. The reason I was looking into it at all was because we thought we'd like to leverage shared drives, but that appears to be a paid version feature only.
Is it worth it to upgrade? What do you guys like about the paid version if you have it?
Help me understand this article and talk me off the cliff.
I have 1000 students and 200 staff so I'm currently paying $5000 for licensing Google Edu Plus.
1000 students x $5 a year = $5000 (staff licenses are currently free)
Under this new licensing model, I now need to license 1200 users at $6 a license.
That's $7200 a year, or a 44% increase.
