The free version of G Suite is a plan that allows you to use the office tool 'Google Workspace' provided by Google for free. If you registered for 'Google Workspace' from 2006 to 2012, there is a plan to use it for free, and after 2012, even if you can not select the free plan at the time of new registration, the free plan will be applied to existing users. I've been.

However, in January 2022, Google finally decided to end the free version of G Suite. We asked users to decide on a migration plan by May 1, 2022, and announced that they would completely terminate the free version of G Suite on July 1, 2022.

Finally, the free version of G Suite will be abolished, and it will not be usable unless it is switched to the paid version by May 2022 --GIGAZINE



The choices given to users of the free version of G Suite are either 'Migrate to paid Google Workspace' or 'Export the data that can be exported by' Google Data Export 'and give up after that'. However, the data that can be exported by 'Google Data Export' is quite limited, and books, movies, music, apps, etc. purchased with the corresponding G Suite account have to be abandoned. The voice of confusion and repulsion goes up.

Whether this voice was louder than expected, Google updated the FAQ, revealing that 'in the next few months, we will provide an option to migrate most of the paid content and data other than Google Workspace.' Did. However, it does not include features such as custom email addresses and multi-account management.

We encourage individuals who use the free version of G Suite and who do not plan to use it for business purposes in the future to log in with an administrator account and provide information.

This information is not reflected in the Japanese version of the help at the time of writing the article.
