I got the email two days ago, I&#x27;ll be honest I&#x27;m super pissed.<p>Like many others I&#x27;ve offered my family an email address under my custom domain. They&#x27;ve tied their phone to it, and are now using it for Email, Drive and Photos.<p>This decision will force me to pay $300+ per year, which I cannot afford. I have to tell my family that they need to find another email&#x2F;drive host, and transfer 15+ years of data over there. My mom and dad are 70, they&#x27;ll never be able to do that.<p>I&#x27;m afraid for the photos especially. The last 15 years of our lives are stored on Google&#x27;s servers. And they&#x27;re offering absolutely no way out. There&#x27;s no tool to migrate all this to a regular Gmail account. Basically we&#x27;re fucked.

I&#x27;m one who will be affected by this.<p>I have no problem paying for a service I have enjoyed and appreciate, but I do wish there was either an option to migrate from custom domain to a Gmail email address or alternative billing.<p>The use case I have is for email hosting for family and friends. I would like to see something besides per user. Either a storage &#x2F; transaction billing or a subset of the GSuite services.
