G Suite User Base

• G Suite boss Javier Soltero said in a March 2020 Axios.com interview that Google's G Suite, which includes Google Docs had reached over 2 billion active monthly users by the end of 2019.
• In the interview, Soltero did not divulge how many of the 2 billion active monthly users were using Google Sheets, instead, he acknowledged that — "That's a staggering number. These products have incredible reach. Changing the way people work is something we are uniquely positioned to do."
• In this regard, since the company has not provided a breakdown of the usage per the G-Suite products, existing data in the public domain is highly likely to be estimates of the anticipated monthly usage, with the accurate figure known to Google.
