Subs are very broadly for the whole Google Apps system, but the thing
I paid for is mainly storage. For about US$20 a year I get a bit over
100GB storage instead of 17GB, which I'd filled up.

I don't use Google Drive much, as I am partly Linux-based and there's
no native client. I do use Google Photos a bit.

But I'm a heavy user of Gmail, and I do actually have over 17GB of
email. I also use Google Calendar and Google Contacts heavily (>5000
contacts) but mainly it was for email storage.

I was working on moving archives onto other free services, sending
some stuff to Hotmail instead of Gmail and so on, but my G/F pointed
out that it was days of work, when the cost is fairly small and these
days I can easily afford it.

It also reduces the chances that Google will decide to randomly close
my account on me, which is a thing that they do.
