Google just rebrand its cloud storage service from Google Drive to Google One. This move has helped the company taken a major leap forward, with the tech giant now allowing anyone in the United States to sign up for the plan, not just users already paying for online storage capacity.
As announced earlier this year, Google One is the new name for the Google Drive cloud storage, one that encompasses many other Google services that have online storage components. Users can now pay a monthly fee to Google One storage, which can be used with Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos, expanding free allocations and enough space for files storage.
Since the company has made the announcement, it has been slowly converting its consumer cloud storage customers over to Google One, but now it has been opened up to every users in the United States only. It is unclear when it will be available to users in other countries, but Google is offering to nofity potential user when it opens up in their market.
The new Google One plans start with 100 gigabytes of storage for $1.99, rising to $2.99 for 200 gigabytes and $9.99 for 2 terabytes, while higher capabilities will still be available, but under the previous pricing. This new plan may be seen as a better value to consumers wanting more storage, as 1 terabytes previously cost $9.99 per month, but the 100 gigabytes option could also be acquired for $11.99 per annual before the rebranding effort.
Google is also planning to make the subscription more useful for families, with customers able to share their plan with up to five different people under one bill. A number of other features are also offered, including Google Play credits and hotel deals found Google Search, with offers from Google Express and Google Store expected in the coming months.
Support is also part of the big features of Google One, which allow users to access the “term of Google experts” to answer their queries.
