This question is from those who like their G Suite price and offer set, and are wondering if they should budget for a price increase for storage in 2021.Įxisting G Suite licenses and related services will continue to function as they do today and we're committed to making the transition as easy as possible. Will users of traditional G Suite accounts be migrated to Workspace? The TL DR version: You can no longer plan for unlimited storage. Below, I'll present my questions, their answers, and at the end, I'll give you my take on what it all means. To answer this, I reached out to Google and had a long and interesting email conversation that went back and forth for about two weeks. I was also personally curious because I, too, maintain a G Suite Business account and am facing the same uncertain fate as many of my readers. Users with a large amount of data already in Google Drive could be facing an urgent and unplanned need to migrate tremendous amounts of data off of Google to someplace else. Workspace Business Standard provides only 2TB of storage per seat, period.īecause I wrote the G Suite everything you need to know guide for CNET, I almost immediately started getting messages from IT managers and small business owners who found themselves suddenly faced with the possibility of losing that unlimited storage. But users buying five seats or more appear to have lost their unlimited storage. Users of Workspace buying 1, 2, 3, or 4 seats will now get up to 2TB of storage per seat, so that's double the storage for very small business purchasers. Workspace plans, captured from Google's Workspace pages Users buying 1, 2, 3, or 4 seats were allowed up to 1TB of storage per seat.īut now that Google is rebranding G Suite to Workspace, it isn't clear what that means for storage. You can see "unlimited" highlighted up there on the old G Suite pricing schedule. Users of the G Suite Business plan with five or more seats have always been offered unlimited storage. The amount of storage provided by Google Drive is dropping considerably for some users of the G Suite Business plan, which is the plan Google has long highlighted as "most popular." In early October, Google rebranded G Suite as Google Workspace.
