If there is a company that follows the motto of renewing itself or dying, that is Google. Whenever you launch a new product, it can receive all the love if it has demand, but if it does not, it will end up underground. But today we are going to focus on one of its flagship products, Google Drive, which will soon be renamed Google One . Although this change seems to only apply in payment plans.
Behind this change of brand it seems that there will also be changes in the characteristics of the service . Many already talk about Google One as the successor of Google Drive , but at the moment it is still in the development phase. Only some users have received the notification to move to Google One, but interestingly they have all been users of Google Drive payment.
Google One, Google's new idea to offer more than just storage in the cloud.
There are many users who when they have to contract a payment plan for storage in the cloud compare before buying. In this area, Microsoft has very tempting payment plans and which includes Office 360 Office tool. It was obvious that Google had been slightly outdated in terms of prices compared to Microsoft .
Seven types of Google One Premium subscriptions.
The price of the different subscriptions has varied and now they have a more competitive price. Before anyone is alarmed, the free plan is still maintained with free 15Gb , so do not worry. The plans are distributed as follows:
- Free plan with a storage of 15GB.
- New annual 100GB storage plan for € 20.99 per year.
- 200GB for € 2.99 per month.
- 2TB plan for 9.99 € per month.
- Storage of 10 TB for 99.99 € monthly.
- Plan of 20TB for 199.99 € per month.
- 30 TB for € 299.99 per month.
The first thing that strikes us is the appearance of a new plan that is paid annually . It has a fairly contained price and is undoubtedly a good choice for domestic use. There is also a considerable price decrease in the rest of the plans, which many companies will appreciate. It is necessary to clarify that this contracted space is shared among all the Google services, that is, with Gmail, Google Photos, etc.
New features of Google One.
To attract the attention of potential buyers, Google One will add new very eye-catching features. In the first place, the creation of family groups is possible, in which we can distribute the space among all the users of the group. These groups are limited to 5 members and each will have their personal space to store their things.
This feature of the family group is very fashionable, in fact we have seen it available in some apps that we can buy on Google Play and share it with family members. It is also common in streaming services such as Spotify, NetFlix and the like.
Another improvement of Google One will be the support , which will be available 365 days a year continuously 24 hours a day. In addition those in charge of giving support will be real people. The bad part of this is that at the moment it will only be implemented in the United States, but it is expected that the support will also improve in the rest of the countries.
Reading all these news from Google One, it seems that Google is targeting business users who demand large amounts of storage and first class support.
