Google is providing free cloud storage to users with legacy G Suite accounts who have been using the service for a decade or more. While the company has been moving towards paid subscriptions, these long-time users are getting additional services and storage for free. Customers who have opted to keep their legacy G Suite plans for personal use were recently notified of the change via email.
Some customers who were paying for additional storage through separate subscriptions have had their subscriptions canceled and refunds issued. However, their storage limits have not changed, and they do not need to take any action. Google has confirmed that customers who received this notification will be able to keep their storage allocation and continue using their existing account.
It is unclear if legacy G Suite account holders who were not paying for additional storage have also received upgrades, and whether the free storage aligns with the amount they previously paid for. TechRadar Pro has reached out to Google for confirmation on these details, but the company has not responded yet.
Overall, this move by Google is a rare victory for long-time G Suite users, as they are receiving additional services and storage for free despite the trend towards paid subscriptions. It will be interesting to see how this decision impacts other legacy G Suite users and if Google extends similar offers to them in the future.
