      In my experience, Google as a whole has been getting worse and worse to use over the past 5-10years.

      Biggest mistake I made was moving the company emails to Google workspaces 😭. Cant wait to be rid of them.

        Why was it a mistake? I’ve used Google workspaces for business email for about 5 years and find it to be a really good and inexpensive service.

          “Biggest mistake” was an exaggeration, but it caused me a lot of headache.

          The email itself is alright, but then we started using the drive and the calendar.

          By the time we realized that the shared drive is not usable for our application we had ~750gb of data which was supper annoying to retrieve.

          Calendar is annoying because it doesn’t play well with outlook calendar.
