G Suite Legacy Free Edition Discontinued – What to Do Now?
The Google G Suite Inheritance free release is being stopped this May. I pursued G-Suite way back pre-2010 and have been utilizing it to keep up with email for my loved ones. This helps my older guardians who are effortlessly mistaken for email accounts.
So Long and Thanks for all the Phish
G-Suite is an instrument that is planned for organizations and incorporates a lot of Google devices (for example Gmail, Drive, Schedule). The free release shut back in 2012 (indeed, 2012) and was not permitting new clients. I surmise they've have at long last fed up with the free clients and have given everybody a decision, switch or get out. Can't fault them for that.
Google would like for all G-Suite clients to move up to a paid business account and are offering $3 per client each month for the first year. The ordinary cost from there on is $6 per client/month. Along these lines, 7 clients x $6/month would be $42 each month for Google applications which are accessible for nothing. Thus, I will be one of the clients that wont move up to a Google Work area membership.
Google "may" offer an instrument to assist with moving people like us to customary Gmail accounts, yet that isn't accessible right now. Thus, I'm caught up with arranging the relocation away from G-Suite.
What are the problems?
There are four trouble spots.
Relocate my close family away from G-Suite email || Assist my more distant family with moving || Deal with those records and administrations that we joined or signed in with our Gmail account. What to do about other Google benefits that might be lost in the relocation.
Backup your data
There is a useful article on the best way to chronicle your Google information. It subtleties how to utilize the Google Takeout device to download a duplicate of every one of your information! On the off chance that you had close to zero familiarity with this, then this fair turned into a significant article for you. Do it. Snatch a reinforcement duplicate of all your Google information. You really want a reinforcement duplicate.
For our purposes, it is a shield on the off chance that the relocation turns sour. The device splits your information up into 2GB compress documents. It took 8 records for every one of my information. I downloaded it and unfastened it to a USB drive I use for reinforcement information. It astonishing is in there. All your Google docs, photographs, email, and substantially more.
My web facilitating administration incorporates email accounts. This is the very thing that I utilized prior to changing to G-Suite. To utilize G-Suite, I needed to reconfigure the email server to highlight Google rather than the included email administration. This really intends that for email, I can switch back and nobody will lose their recognizable email address.
My web have gives a web mail interface that can be utilized to understand email. Likewise, assuming you utilize the gmail android application, it tends to be designed for extra non-google email accounts. (There's the subsequent significant hint). I use Thunderbird as my work area email client. It is perfect for totaling various email accounts (I have two dynamic records and three others that I don't utilize).
Saved Email Messages
I have email returning to 2010 that I have saved in Gmail. These are for the most part discussion strings with relatives and a couple of messages that have connections. Try not to need to lose those.
It turns out the Google Takeout reinforcement incorporate a file of all my email. This document is put away in a record with an ".mbox" expansion. I found that by involving two expansion in Thunderbird I could open the ".mbox" document and read every one of the old messages. It even incorporates the connections as a whole! Exceptionally cool.
This article: How to Open a MBOX Record (Utilizing Mozilla Thunderbird) gave me the data I expected to set up the "TbSync" and "Supplier for CalDAV and CardDAV" augmentations and open up the email chronicle document. This really works perfectly - Also, I can eliminate those old messages from my Gmail account.
Email Forwarding
To go on with a canofworms email account, I can set up programmed sending to a record of their decision. This ought to take care of issue 2. I might have to help them with the change.
Other Google Services (Problem 4)
A genuine concern is what other Google administrations will be influenced by the movement. In this way, the initial step is to survey what apparatuses I'm really utilizing. Others administrations may not be no joking matter. Simply make a new gmail record and begin utilizing that one.
Drive, Docs, and Sheets
The chronicle incorporated my documents from Google Drive. On the off chance that I had been utilizing a work area sync device for drive, it wouldn't be an issue. For my situation, every one of the records were remembered for the back up.
The Docs and Sheets records are put away in Succeed xlsx and Word docx design, so no issue there. I can then rearrange them onto my hard drive or another distributed storage device like Dropbox.
Keep
I have proactively been involving Joplin for notes, so this was not a problem. Had several example noticed, that I recently erased.
G-Suite Calendar
This one was somewhat of an issue. My answer was to utilize the schedule device inside Nextcloud. Under the Settings and Import area in the schedule, I had the option to get the essential calDAV URL that permitted me to design the Schedule in Thunderbird to adjust with Nextcloud.
I then imported the .ics schedule record I got from the Google reinforcement and maneuvered all my schedule occasions from Google into Nextcloud.
Synchronized the schedule in Thunderbird and withdrew from the Google schedule in Thunderbird. This implies that Nextcloud is presently my essential schedule apparatus.
Reward: While I was busy, I looked for .ics documents of US Occasions and Periods of the Moon. I downloaded those and brought them into Nextcloud. At long last, I bought into every one of those schedules in Thunderbird.
Contacts
Contacts are a wreck! They are all over the place. Google gathers them, my telephone gathers them. Thunderbird gathers them. Nextcloud has them. For this situation, not exactly stressed over losing them since they are all over the place, in addition to I have a reinforcement from Google takeout.
What I would truly like is to have a data set with a web frontend for overseeing contact records. It would have to synchronize between all the different contact records.
