This tool hasn't been released yet, right?

I check this page every week or so: >In the coming months, we'll provide an option for you to move your non-Google Workspace paid content and most of your data to a no-cost option. This new option won't include premium features like custom email or multi-account management. You'll be able to evaluate this option prior to July 1, 2022 and prior to account suspension. We'll update this article with details in the coming months. https://support.google.com/a/answer/60217#data&zippy=%2Cif-i-dont-want-to-upgrade-to-a-paid-subscription-can-i-transfer-my-data%2Cif-i-dont-want-to-upgrade-to-a-paid-subscription-can-i-keep-or-transfer-my-data https://support.google.com/a/answer/60217#data&zippy=%2Cif-i... I'm kind of counting on that being available before they start charging me.

  Oh, this is quite interesting. The one thing I am worried about is that it's not clear if it will let us migrate to a "Google Account without GMail" (which lets you use a custom domain to create a free Google Account, see https://accounts.google.com/SignUpWithoutGmail?hl=en https://accounts.google.com/SignUpWithoutGmail?hl=en), but will instead require that we migrate to an @gmail.com account. I really don't want that; I want to keep my Google Account identity the same (with my custom domain). I've already moved my email from GMail to Fastmail, so I don't need Google to host my email. Unfortunately this support page doesn't give much in the way of details, and I expect there won't be much time between when they release this tool (and I inevitably am able to confirm it won't do what I want) and when I'll have to start moving my data, which will require writing some specialized tools if I want to migrate as losslessly as possible to a new Google Account.

    This is exactly what I'm waiting for, too - I don't really care about migrating my email somewhere else, I'd wanted to do that for a while even before they discontinued the program. But I do want to preserve my existing Google account and the various Google data associated to it, even if that means migrating it out of GSuite.
