G Suite is an incredible value. I have an account with a single user, paying $12+tax/month. On that account I have 20TB in Drive. Good luck getting that kind of storage pricing elsewhere, I'm actually nervous about Google ever deciding to kill the heaviest users or charge more because I don't know where else I would go.

In my understanding my 20TB isn't just 20TB sitting in their datacenter, it's de-duped across accounts. But still, amazing value.

Isn't it <= 1TB if less than 5 users ?

Technically, yes. But it has never been enforced AFAIK. That could change tomorrow of course, so I would be cautious of using it for anything that is very important.

I suspect that posting about this on HN is one of the fastest routes towards getting this fixed, in terms of concentration of Google engineers likely to see your post.

Ha, that would be super unfortunate. But not too worried about that happening. It's been openly talked about online for years with no action.

Ho! Very interesting. I always thought it was very much an active thing.

In my thought, anyway Google must hold data to support eDiscovery, so they remove capacity limit.
