Google One has reached a major milestone, having been downloaded over one billion times on Android devices. The app, first offered in 2018, provides users with additional storage for Google Drive, Google Photos, and Gmail. In addition to additional storage, Android and iOS subscribers to the 2TB storage tier have access to a free Virtual Private Network (VPN), which encrypts their internet traffic and hides their identities, making it harder for third parties to track them and steal their data.

Google One users also have access to 24/7 support from “Google experts” via email, phone, and chat. Users of the 2TB and 200GB storage plans also receive a 10% cashback on Google Store purchases. Subscribers to Google One also gain the ability to use enhanced editing features for Google Photos, such as portrait light, blur, color pop, and more.

Prices for Google One storage plans vary depending on the subscriber’s country. For example, prices in Turkish lira are 80% cheaper than prices in U.S. dollars. All Google Account members start with 15GB of free cloud storage. In the U.S., prices for Google One’s storage tiers are as follows: 100GB for $1.99 per month or $19.99 per year, 200GB for $2.99 per month or $29.99 annually, 2TB for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, and plans for 10TB, 20TB, and 30TB, which can be purchased on a month-to-month basis only, are $49.99/month, $99.99/month, and $149.99/month respectively.

Storage can be shared with up to 5 additional family members, with each family member getting the default 15GB of storage. Google One users are also distinguished by a circle surrounding their avatar icon in the four “Google colors” of blue, red, yellow, and green, indicating that they are a subscriber in good standing of Google One. The app is available on the App Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android users.
