Just curious: could you delete some of the larger files, or do something else to reduce the data usage, to stay within the current tier?
Yes; that's a possibility, too. I'm trying to weigh whether that's the best course of action, or decouple our email and google docs.
I have seen price increases a number of times already, though. What started at $5/mo/user has increased. I do feel like a captive, which breeds a bit of animosity, though.
I’m not sure what your goal is
you can “make a copy” of the docs shared to you. those copies are yours and you can download them. they’ll be included in backups, etc
You can also share them with a free account and then have the free account make copies
Oof. Google now charges me more than I’m comfortable paying and want us to upgrade to the next tier due to data usage.
I’m happy to move off to another email provider, but my wife is upset that she’ll lose access to all the docs that have ever been shared with her on that Google Apps account. This is truly hell.
Apparently, after we migrate off we can recreate a free, non-email Google apps account “[email protected]”, but it’ll be empty.
Suggestions, and sympathy for poor decision making 10+ years ago, welcome.
