I had an early legacy free tier account, and back around 2010 they offered a 
free trial of the paid features - and sneakily, no way to go back to the 
free tier.

Yeah, with a home use license from your company (which most likely uses 
Microsoft 365), 5 licenses for the full Outlook experience, plus all of the 
usual web and desktop apps and 1TB of OneDrive space per user is $69/year, 
which is hard to beat. I've been trying to move off of Google One, but it's 
hard to do. Habits are hard to break.


.... When in doubt, predict that the trend will continue.
