Google One isn't a direct replacement for Drive, though – it also includes support from Google experts, plus Google-related goodies like Google Play vouchers and hotel deals via Google Search. You can sign up to receive email updates when Google One is available "in your area", which suggests the expert advice will be offered either by phone or in person.
Google One will get a new $2.99 a month option that gets you 200GB of storage. The 2TB plan, which usually costs $19.99 per month, will now cost $9.99 a month.
Finally, the 1TB plan that costs $9.99 a month is getting removed. The other plans for 10, 20, or 30TB won’t see any changes.
Google will also make the plan shareable within a family of up to five members, and give users access to live chat support even if you’re on the cheapest plan of $1.99 a month for 100GB.
It’s the first time live support is coming to Google for users who may not have a G Suite business account.
If you want to use Google One without paying at all, the company will still offer Drive’s basic 15GB of free space option.
The upgrade will arrive first to users who already pay for additional Google Drive storage, and you can expect to see an email confirming the change shortly.
