Legacy G Suite editions

You can no longer sign up for G Suite Basic, G Suite Business, or the legacy free edition of G Suite. If you have a G Suite edition, you can continue with your subscription and all related services. However, you can't switch to a different G Suite edition.

Upgrade to Google Workspace

By upgrading to Workspace, you unlock 24/7 support and access to premium collaboration and security features, based on the edition you choose. You can upgrade to any of these Business editions:

  • Business Starter—Professional productivity suite with 30 GB pooled storage per user. Includes Gemini AI assistant in Gmail and access to Gemini app with enterprise-grade data protections.
  • Business Standard—Enhanced productivity suite with 2 TB pooled storage per user. Includes Gemini AI assistant in Gmail, Docs, Meet, and more, and access to Gemini app with enterprise-grade data protections.
  • Business Plus—Advanced productivity suite with 5 TB pooled storage per user. Includes Gemini AI assistant in Gmail, Docs, Meet, and more, and access to Gemini app with enterprise-grade data protections.

To learn more and sign up, go to Business editions.

You can also upgrade to an Enterprise edition. For example, Enterprise Standard offers a complete suite of productivity and collaboration apps with flexible storage and enterprise-grade security and management. To switch to an Enterprise edition, contact Google Sales.
