More and more, we rely on the internet for ways to safely store the things that matter—making life simpler and less cluttered. Thanks to smart phones, and new file formats such as 4K video and high-res photography, people are storing more than ever before. And to further make storage simpler, Google has introduced Google One, a simple low cost plan for expanded storage. 

In the next few months, all paid consumer Google Drive storage plans will be upgraded to Google One. This change will not affect G Suite business customers.

“With Google One, we’ve upgraded our paid storage plans so you’ll have all the space you need for your Google Drive, Gmail, and original quality photos and videos in Google Photos. With lots of options, ranging from 100GB to 30TB, you can choose the plan that’s right for you,” Google said in a blog post.

Google believes that people who use a lot of storage tend to use a lot of other Google products, too. So, with Google One users get one-tap access to experts for help with consumer products and services. Plus, you will gain access to extras from other Google products, like credits on Google Play or deals on select hotels found in Google Search.

With Google One, you can add up to five family members to your plan and simplify storage under one bill. Everyone gets their own private storage space as well as the additional benefits of Google One.

If you have a paid Drive storage plan, you’ll be upgraded to Google One automatically over the coming months, starting first in the US and then expanding globally.
