They have been trying that for awhile, legacy accounts have not been getting some of the new feature, space was more limited on the legacy accounts than the paid accounts, and a few other things.
Most of us however we perfectly fine with the limited on the accounts... in reality if they just gave me the exact same level of service as they do the free gmail but with a custom domain I would be fine / happy. That is after all what the original service I signed up for was in the beginning.
I have no interest in Google Workspace, I want Gmail, Drive, and Identity. That is it. Maybe Photos... All of which they offer free to everyone still today just not with a custom domain
- lewisl9029 5y agoSame here. I honestly don't need the custom domain email stuff (I can move that to another provider). Just give me an option to turn my account into a regular @gmail.com account with working email/calendar/meet like everybody else paying $0, and I'll be happy. I'm just not a fan of being left with a crippled account even compared to their free service if I want to keep my existing stuff outside of email.
- bullines 5y agoI'm thinking of doing something similar, basically: 1. cancelling my Legacy Free Edition 2. moving my domain to another provider (e.g. Proton Mail, Fastmail, etc.) 3. creating a personal Gmail account using one of the email address that will be formerly part of my Legacy Free Edition I have some hesitance that the Google account creation flow won't allow me to do this.
