What is Google One?

It’s a new service that all those who currently subscribe to Google Drive storage plans will be upgraded to. Firstly, with Google One, the company has upgraded their paid storage plans. The new service isn’t intended to replace Google Drive; the company will still give 15GB of free storage to each Google account. Secondly, there is a lot of options for storage varying from 100GB-15TB. In practice, the extra cloud storage will be used exactly as it is now, for Gmail, Google Drive, and Photos. Moreover, it’s just the branding that changes, and Google is adding a few extra perks for customers

“Over the years, we’ve provided people with easy, secure ways to create, store and share files online, including 15 GB of free space with every Google Account. Thanks to mobile phones, and new file formats like 4K video and high-res photography, people are storing more than ever before. That’s why we’re introducing Google One, a simple plan for expanded storage that includes extra benefits to help you get more out of Google” said Google One Vice President, Pavni Diwanji in a blog post.

The new pricing structure of Google One:

Benefits of Google One

  • Users can include up to five family members in one plan.
  • It has more space and smarter options.
  • One-tap, 24-7 access to Google experts for help with products like Google hardware devices and services like Gmail
  • Extras from other Google products
  • Credits on Google Play
  • Special deals and promotions via Google Search

The company will automatically migrate paid Google Drive customers to the new service Google One. It includes price cuts on some of its plans. G Suite business customers won’t be affected by the change.
