To be clear (and this is mentioned but not highlighted in the article), the previous Business plans were never guaranteed unlimited storage for orgs with fewer than 5 users ($60/month), the 1TB limit those orgs were supposed to have was just never enforced.

I was one of those users, and the thought that the storage limit could start being enforced at any time was always in the back of my mind. Now I'm on the Enterprise plan and can worry a bit less.

But the new Workspace plan is still different for 5+ users:

" Customers that have 5 or more End Users will receive a total amount of Google Drive storage equal to 5TB times the number of End Users, with more storage available at Google's discretion upon reasonable request to Google. "

Existing customers (under G-suite) may be grandfathered for an arbitrarily long time, in which case I would agree you don't need to worry.

Note that I have heard of a number of data hoarders who have jumped onto those new enterprise plans with lots of data stored, and there are no reports of caps or data culls - yet.

I hope it’s just another one of those not enforced terms.

Did you have to request it from a sales agent?

No, it's available as a self-serve upgrade from the admin panel. Sales might be able to give discounts, but that's not very likely for an "enterprise" with 1 user :)

I did the same. I heard about the changes, saw the life boat that is the $20 upgrade and figured I would jump on that since it was an available upgrade.

I have 41TB of "Linux ISOs" that I need to keep stored ;)
