You can even use Google One storage to back up your Android phone, though technically speaking, the free 15GB of storage in your Google account is more than enough to back up contacts and other basic information.<\/p>\n<p>Most people use Google One to increase the storage space of Google Photos or Google Drive. These services let you automatically back up and access important files, similar to Dropbox or iCloud.<\/p>\n<p>But if you use Google services for work or school, you may\u00a0<em>need<\/em> a Google One subscription. Hardcore Gmail or Google Docs users tend to blow through the 15GB of storage that comes with their Google account.<\/p>\n<p>For clarity, you can\u2019t \u201cbuy more Google Drive storage\u201d anymore. Cloud storage is tied to your Google <em>account<\/em> and shared by all of your Google apps.
