Get ready — your Google Workspace subscription is about to see an unwelcome price hike
Get ready — your Google Workspace subscription is about to see an unwelcome price hike
Google Workspace customers will pay 20% more
All theses tech giants are either firing employees or increasing price and adding more subscriptions.
Dont worry though, it'll be approximately a decade before the general public realizes this is not 'innovation' and is basically stagnant monopoly/oligopoly behavior.
They've been advertising this price hike for a while now. We've cancelled ours. Got the last "Hey, are you super duper sure you want to cancel?" email yesterday. Fuck 'em.
I wish salaries everywhere went up with inflation and so we wouldn't have to feel the pinch...
I know, I'm saying trivialities...
Thanks for the reminder to cancel.
I wish this would cause my company to move away from Google. Google Workspace is terrible.
'unwelcome'. of course. but this is no surprise. they jacked-up rates for new subs nearly a year ago, while leaving existing ones alone. that reprieve is now over.
What's a good FOSS replacement?
Nextcloud as a Drive replacement? Libreoffice for documents? There's a ton of options for hosting email yourself. But IMO you're not just paying Google (or other services) for the software but rather for them to host it for you. I use FOSS for almost everything and self-host many of my own services, but I pay a company to host my email and it's money well spent.
I pay for ab email server and a nextclpud instance
You can also self host libre or only office via next cloud
Anyone got a suggestion for storage? I’d been using drive through workspace for unlimited, and they killed off unlimited a while back. I kinda just left it as it was, but 5TB storage isn’t worth this price.
Ideally with decent download speeds and direct linking to files, but I can likely make anything work.
1fichier. Rclone knows it, however 1fichier have sick "anti spam" measures, around 1 transaction per sec, so its better for big files, and not so fast for many small files.
