It would be nice if they provided a route to getting old GAFYD users over to a standard Google Account. I've still got old accounts with photos etc on that I cannot move, and the only reason I moved from GAFYD is because of so much functionality being missing.

The most annoying thing is that I got married and I now want to share my Google One account with my family ...and I cannot, unless they all have my domain. By the way, you can sort-of "move" your photos by adding them to shared album and "saving to local" on the other side. But then, if the original account is removed, the photos are still removed (AFAIK).

  I also can't have a YouTube Premium Family account, because they don't support Google Workspace accounts! I really do wish I hadn't moved my domain over to them - but my Google Calendar, email, and Google Play purchases are all in there.

    Ah. I thought I could if I move them to my domain. But I guess I cannot.

      Yeah, with the number of YouTube ads I've been seeing recently, I was considering a family subscription so that I could get better value for money, and share the joy. With this restriction on Workspace accounts, I decided to just forego a subscription altogether until they get their act together.

This is one of the many reasons I'd never use Google in any business setting. I had GSuite / free-edition set up for my family. Now, new members don't have access to basic features like Google Voice without shelling out $6/month. A lot my family signed up, so I'd be looking at thousands of dollars per year. Google is happy to drop you, mostly for an obnoxious up-sell. You're a statistic, and if they drive your business under, that's a statistic too.
