99% of the users of the free product just wanted to have their group/family/etc to use gmail with a custom domain.

That product is still free at other providers. We'll just be moving.



It will cost you dozens of hours to move your 10+ years of digital stuff. The big G has done a real pinch here.


Yes but for my family of 4 it would cost me 4612= 288$ per year! That's about 50% of my yearly unlimited fiber internet access (that also come with a free email).

For me that's the last nail in the coffin, will make sure in the future to keep away from all Google product (private or professional).

What is strange is how in a few year Google went from the cool company where everybody wanted to work to something that can almost be compared to a tobacco company.


In my case it won't, because, of course, it's all backed up locally. This Google outfit can be pretty sketchy at times - needed to make sure they didn't close down and take my stuff.


rclone FTW!


I adore rclone and am shocked every day when it just keeps working. I figured Google would have staked it through the heart years ago.


Google Takeout is not even that bad...


What providers offer 10 years of email (guessing many GB in size), plus allow using your own domain name for free?

All the one's I'm seeing are paid options, some of which get very expensive if you have more than just one or two users.


What are those other free providers?
