What is Google One and How Do You Easily Sign Up?

April 28, 2024 Off By Ibraheem Adeola

Google offers handy tools like Drive, Gmail, and Photos, but their free storage of 15 gigabytes might not be enough for you. That’s where Google One comes to the rescue. It’s a service you pay for that gives you more space. Here’s what you need to know:

What is Google One?

Google One is a service where you pay a monthly fee for extra storage. It works with Drive, Gmail, and Photos. But it’s not just storage. You also get cool extras like photo effects, discounts on Google products, and help from Google experts. Certain plans also now offer access to Google’s AI tool.

How is it different from Drive?

Before, Drive used to offer storage plans, but now Google One does that. Drive is now just for storing files, while Google One is a subscription service. There are different plans to choose from:

  • 100 GB Basic Plan: Costs $2 a month or $20 a year.
  • 200 GB Standard Plan: Costs $3 a month or $30 a year.
  • 2 TB Premium Plan: Costs $10 a month or $100 a year.
  • 2 TB AI Premium Plan: Costs $20 a month.

And if you get any plan starting from the Basic tier, you can share it with up to five family members. Different tiers have varying features, such as the 2TB Premium Plan which includes Google Workspace benefits. The AI-Premium plan includes all Premium benefits as well as AI-powered products like Gemini Advanced and integration of Gemini into Gmail and Docs.

There are also bigger plans available, however, as Wired points out, it is unlikely that 2TB won’t be enough:

  • 5 TB: Costs $25 a month or $250 a year.
  • 10 TB: Costs $50 a month.
  • 20 TB: Costs $100 a month.
  • 30 TB: Costs $150 a month.

How do you sign up?

Just go to Google One and sign up using your Google account. Then you can pick which plan suits you best.
