Bad news - Google Workspace will now cost you

Google has announced a major shake-up for users of its free legacy office software products, who will now have to pay up or lose access to the likes of Gmail, Docs, and Meet.
"To maintain your services and accounts...upgrade by May 1, 2022," a help page on the Google Support site noted. "Upgrading to Google Workspace takes just a few steps with no disruption to your users. After you upgrade you can use your new subscription at no cost until at least July 1, 2022."
In a seperate email to admins seen by TechRadar Pro, the company said from May 1, it plans to automatically upgrade free users to "an upgraded Google Workspace paid subscription" based on its analysis of the customer's usage and the features it thinks you'll need.
Google Workplace plans start at $6/user/month for its Business Starter option, with Business Standard ($12/user/month), and Business Plus $18 /user/month also on offer, providing an increasing level of services with the amount paid.
Google is offering a discount for 12 months, and won't start charging subscription fees until July 1, 2022. The company is also offering businesses who don't want to pay or upgrade the chance to export their data at no extra cost.
Google rebranded G Suite as Workspace back in October 2020 in a bid to bring more structure to its myriad of apps and services.
Initially described as "the future of work", the new platform looked to improve the interoperability of its various productivity services, blurring the lines between each product for a more fluid feel.
