Load of my shoulders. As much as I hate to be beholden to Google, both my parents (in their 70s) use our gsuit account with custom domain and migrating them to a different service was … well, you know how it goes. The cost was a bit much.
So thanks Google.
- filmgirlcw 4y agoYeah, similar situation here. And yes, trying to explain to others how to use a new email system would probably have been more expensive than just paying but FFS, Google, way to freak out a bunch of kids who have had to be the family IT admin.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoThis situation sort-of landed in my lap. My older brother set up custom domain email with the family surname for himself, parents, and another sibling many years ago, but he died a couple of years ago, and as the only other techy person in the family, I've kind of taken on responsibility for these things, even though I don't use it myself. I was putting off migrating to another service, so I'm glad I don't have to worry about it anymore. (I was going to go with Apple iCloud+ because they're all pretty invested in Apple stuff anyway, but the process of manually transfering each person's email archive with Google Takeout was a bit of an unknown for me.)
