I’ve had Google One (2 TB) since 2019 and have paid $99 a year. Anyone think it should be getting cheaper or more storage or more features?!?! It must be costing them pennies for them compare to what they are making from it
You can get 10TB of Backup Storage and 10TB of Cloud Drive Storage for that price a year with idrive. They even do the first year for something like $4.88. I don’t know why anyone uses Google anymore. I used to have 5TB but It was because it came with my e-mail. But it’s just run out and I won’t go back
I wanted cloud storage so I bought cloud storage. I wasn’t looking for cloud storage + random benefits tacked on?
The only issue I have is the jump from 200GB to 2TB. There should be a tier in between imo. I need more than 200 but will never hit 2TB.
If you don’t like Google’s offering, switch to a different cloud that fits your value proposition?
The benefits have changed. Absolutely they have.
You no longer have the deep web monitoring as part of your tier.
I agree. Storage gets cheaper over time.
I use Dropbox. They are about the same price and have better specs. You can do auto backup of your photos from your phone too. If you have Google and use it to backup photos have you ever tried to download all of the photos at once? It is a horrible task. Just for the fun of it go on Google drive and see if you can see all your photos listed in directory form like you would expect to see on your computer. You have to go to Google Photos to see them all! Now try and download all of them. If you want to download every photo you have to go to a website called Google Takeout. That is where the fun begins. If you have years of photos it is a task.
Google’s 2TB plan in Turkey is about £12 for the year so very cheap. The OneDrive with 1TB per family member is also very cheap from Turkey using iTunes gift cards, maybe not even 50p a month. The only disappointing thing there is with the 6TB total, it is split evenly across each family member.
I got free 2tb for a year…bought pixel 9 pro…got the free upgrade and then returned the 9.
It’s a fair price. Compare it to Apple! They are ridiculous for the same storage.
How to keep photos backed up automatically on Google elsewhere?
I like the automatic back up from phone and easy to search features on Google photos.
What bothers me is the step function: i am running out of space at 2 TB and now need to upgrade to 5TB!
Google one plans are created useless on purpose.
I have moved years ago to Microsoft 365 for my whole family for 10$ a month and get 1Tb per user Max 6 users. That’s the plan that Google lacks.
I downloaded my photos and docs and had setup automatic sync for my phone and desktop (win11)
Also I still pay for Google one, it’s 3$ only for the photos, I had to eventually deleted videos but now I can have a cheap redundant cloud
And my main repository is several local disks synced with Syncthing.
Not one problem.
Probably the only cost that hasn’t gone up in price since 2019. Might want to enjoy the fact they haven’t increased it yet.
Actually, they got rid of benefits i.e. Google VPN.
You paid for 2 tb so you got 2tb, its not a benefit, its a product/service.
Until late 2018 it was 1tb for that price.
It’s a cloud storage what more can we expect
SAVE*95%
5 TB of cloud backup
at $99.50/year $4.98 for the first year
So the same price.
How can i get this cheap
Or the VPN, which a lot of us actually used! Google loves to axe their own products!
Hunger also grows over time. Google is nothing but profit hungry.
How to subscribe under turkey ? VPN seems to be not taking turkey .
