# Migration: Google Workspace (custom domain) → ProtonMail; Android account (`bimble@superbimble.com`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**Can you keep the Android account (`bimble@superbimble.com`) after shutting down Google Workspace?** YES.
|
||||
|
||||
The key is to **cancel** (not delete) your Google Workspace subscription, and **keep** (not delete) your user account. After cancellation, the user account is converted to an **unmanaged consumer Google Account** that retains:
|
||||
|
||||
- The same `bimble@superbimble.com` email address
|
||||
- Play Store purchases
|
||||
- YouTube account
|
||||
- Device identity
|
||||
- Photos, Drive (personal), etc. (if user-owned)
|
||||
|
||||
What you lose:
|
||||
- Workspace-managed Gmail (blocked by default after cancellation)
|
||||
- Workspace MDM / device management
|
||||
- Google Admin console access
|
||||
- Shared drives (user-owned files in My Drive stay)
|
||||
|
||||
What already works per your setup:
|
||||
- `bimble@superbimble.com` email already flows through ProtonMail (MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC configured)

|
||||
|
||||
## Step-by-Step Migration (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Pre-Cancellation Checklist
|
||||
- [x] ProtonMail domain (`superbimble.com`) MX records pointing to ProtonMail
|
||||
- [x] SPF, DKIM, DMARC records configured
|
||||
- [x] Email already flowing through ProtonMail
|
||||
- [ ] Export Workspace data (Drive, Calendar, Chat, etc.) via Takeout or Admin data export
|
||||
- [ ] Note Play Store purchases / YouTube / Photos linked to `bimble@superbimble.com`
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Cancel Google Workspace Subscription
|
||||
1. Admin console → Billing → Subscriptions
|
||||
2. Click "Cancel Subscription"
|
||||
3. **Choose option: "Let users keep their data and delete my organization's account"** (this keeps your personal Google Account identity, just removes the Workspace admin layer)
|
||||
4. Do NOT delete your user account
|
||||
5. Do NOT delete the organization (unless you want to fully lose the domain identity)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. After Cancellation
|
||||
- Wait < 1 hour for account to convert from "managed" to "unmanaged"
|
||||
- Sign in to Android with `bimble@superbimble.com` using the same password
|
||||
- Work profile/MDM will be removed automatically (user may need to re-add account)
|
||||
- Play Store continues working; purchases preserved
|
||||
- Gmail/Calendar/Drive in Workspace become unavailable (already migrated to Proton)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Optional: Fully Delete Workspace Organization
|
||||
- If you decide you never want any trace of Workspace again:
|
||||
- Wait 24–48 hours after subscription cancellation
|
||||
- Admin console → Account → Account management → Delete Account
|
||||
- Domain freed within 24h
|
||||
- You can later recreate a personal Google Account with the same email, but you must wait 30 days for conflict window

## What NOT to Do
|
||||
|
||||
| Action | Why it breaks Android account |
|
||||
|--------|------------------------------|
|
||||
| Delete your user account in Admin console | The Google Account identity is destroyed; 30-day conflict window prevents reusing the email |
|
||||
| Delete the organization before canceling subscription | All user data is deleted; domain freed but account lost; Android Play Store cannot recover |
|
||||
| Cancel subscription but delete your user anyway | Same as above; data loss |
|
||||
| Expect to keep Workspace Gmail after cancellation | Gmail is disabled when subscription ends; already handled by ProtonMail |
