Google Workspace + Microsoft 365 together around 95% of hosted corporate seats.

Total people using email (2024–2025): about 4.5–4.6 billion.

Google (Gmail consumer + Google Workspace): ≈3.0 billion active users/mailboxes.

numbers from perplexity, but probably good enough for casual conversation

I don’t use google oauth, prefer user pass and email

I use google for email and docs, it’s convenient. i use my own domain though, and i backup my data nightly.

I feel like i have de-risked the relationship as much as is reasonable and am happy to move if i have to with minimal data or access loss (time to restore all data somewhere may be a bit of an issue, but there are workarounds)
