These plans gave you more storage not only in Drive but in any other Google services as well, including Gmail and Google Photos.<\/p>\n<p>Since Google Drive itself is a storage service, this was a little confusing. Many people mistakenly assumed that the plans were only for getting more Google Drive storage. In an attempt to simplify the plans and make their purpose more clear, Google One was launched in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, Google upgraded Drive\u2019s 1 terabyte plan to 2 terabytes and kept the price at $9.99 per month. The other tiers included 100GB for $1.99 and 200GB for $2.99. Google Drive users were automatically upgraded to Google One.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Point_of_Google_One\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_WhatIsThePoint\">What Is the Point of Google One?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you sign up for a Google account, you get 15GB of storage for free. This storage is shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. For a lot of people, this is enough storage.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you find that 15GB isn\u2019t enough, that\u2019s where Google One comes in. For a monthly subscription, you can get more storage for your Google account. At the time of writing, the storage options include 100GB, 200GB, 2TB, 10TB, 20TB, and 30TB.<\/p>\n<p>As previously mentioned, Google One isn\u2019t just for storing files in the cloud. Your storage allotment also applies to emails and attachments in Gmail, photos and videos in Google Photos, and everything you store in Google Drive. It\u2019s <em>one<\/em> subscription for everything.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, if you are heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, Google One is something you may want to consider. It will allow you to use the services without worrying so much about storage.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Benefits\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_Benefits\">What Are the Benefits?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><video controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ezgif-3-72bd31b3b51b.gif?format=mp4\" title=\"google one gif\" width=\"602\" height=\"340\"\/><br \/><span class=\"imagecredit\">Google<\/span><br \/>\nStorage is the main purpose of Google One, but there are other benefits to the service as well. One of the biggest is the ability to share your subscription with family members.<\/p>\n<p>If you set up a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/337810\/how-to-set-up-google-family-to-share-your-google-services\/\">Family Group on your Google account, anyone in the group can share the storage with you. So if you have the 200GB plan, for example, that pool of storage is available to everyone in the group. However, everyone\u2019s files remain private.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Set Up Google Family to Share Your Google Services<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google One members also get access to \u201cGoogle Experts.\u201d These are people trained to help you with any of the company\u2019s products. Google Experts are essentially a higher level of customer support only for Google One members.<\/p>\n<p>A benefit for people who use Android phones and tablets is\u00a0Back Up and Restore. This makes it easy to back up things like device data, media from text messages, and photos and videos. You can then use Google One to restore a new device.<\/p>\n<p>If privacy and security are big deals to you, Google One also offers a VPN just for members. \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/one.google.com\/about\/vpn\">VPN by Google One<\/a>\u201d can be enabled on Android devices for members with the 2TB plan or higher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is a VPN, and Why Would I Need One?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several other benefits that vary depending on where you live.

Compared to other cloud storage options, Google One is priced competitively. It\u2019s a great service if you\u2019re already a heavy user of Google products.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>That\u2019s the core of what Google One is about.
