It'south been a slow rollout for Google One and then far, but at present the service is launching widely. If you're looking for cheaper online storage plans, Google I is probably your best bet.

Previously, Google just offered the $10 monthly fee for 1TB of storage in Google Drive. With Google One, y'all also have a 100GB plan for $1.99 per month and a 200GB for $2.99 monthly. The $9.99 pricing tier still exists, but it at present includes 2TB of storage instead of 1TB. That's still twice what Dropbox offers on its base consumer programme.

The nature of that storage is yet the same — it applies to almost all the services under Google's umbrella. You can dump files into Bulldoze, only it as well covers things like Gmail storage and full-resolution uploads to Google Photos.

We don't know the nature of these deals, still. Likewise, Google volition offer discounts on content in the Google Store, Play Store, and Google Express. Will they be good deals? No one knows.

New subscribers should be able to sign upward for 1 at present (or at to the lowest degree very soon) on the official landing page.
