I went through the steps of setting up a business email and first I registered a domain, but then after setting it all I was prompted to start a business account for something like $26 a month. I just started the free trial but am I signed up for something I don't need? I also only need one user for this email but my company is a few people. I literally only need email with the work domain

Has anyone here actually tried to use free Gmail accounts with very low volume per inbox (max 20) as a substitute to paid Google workspace/business emails? What were your results?

From what I've seen, the main concern is lower sender reputation and deliverability risks, but surely with such low volume, it shouldn't really matter? Definitely very time consuming to setup so many inboxes but worth it if it saves money, and it is a lot of money if you start buying 15-20+ inboxes and domains for all those inboxes as well.

Was actually on the verge of buying domains and business emails to start my campaign this week, but just thought I'd get this clarified before I buy everything up.

Thanks guys!

Hi all

We have sold the family business and looking to move the remaining accounts from Workspace Standard (paid) to free accounts. I've now seen there is a deadline of 21 August to do this.

We have 2 domains, lots of data in G Photos & Drive etc but don't use anything other than Docs, Gmail, Drive and Photos. No meet, voice etc.

Would we be able to continue using the two domain names (old family business name and new family domain name) with the free tier for personal use if I go down the Workspace 'Free' route?

" After August 21, 2023, you can no longer identify as a personal user and revert to a no-cost subscription. If you already identified that you use your account for personal use, you don’t need to take any further action at this time. "

How will our data be handled? We have 2TB each through the workspace business standard sub at the minute, we would then drop to 30GB each afterwards, but I hope we wouldn't lose all the data in drive and photos? We have lots of family photos and shared albums created by us. The albums is the primary pain in the backside as we can't afford to have them drop off.

I assume we will be able to then individually pay for increased storage like a regular google user would? eg 1TB, 2TB etc.

Thanks
