Wtf is google offering that you're paying for anyway? advertising?
Google Workspace (GMail, Meet, Calendar Drive, Docs, Sheets, ...) is a popular alternative to MS365 among companies.
🤢
Things change.
Ten years ago I joined a newly formed small company. They were all-in on the google suite for everything, and it was great. Gmail, docs, meet, all joined up really well and fully cloud so everyone could work just as easily from home as in the office, with no on-prem hardware or VPNs or anything. It made the work so productive.
But of course enshittification happens, corps get evil, and everything goes down the toilet.
These days I am degoogling as much as possible and would never choose g-suite again, either personally or for business, but 10 years ago for that small business it was a godsend.
when AI came around, they realized ai is costing too much, so they have to force it on customers to make them pay off thier debt.
It's not like 365 is so great anyway
Storage on google drive comes to mind. Not that I pay for it, but I know it's something others do.
