While Google Drive isn’t going away entirely, the introduction of Google One will change it’s purpose. With the rebranding of Google One also comes new features to look forward to. Google Drive will now only refer to the company’s Dropbox-like service where you can upload files to a personal online vault. Google One will be the place where you can buy and manage your online storage shared between Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.
Unlike the earlier version, you will now be able to share your storage with up to five family members. Plus, it will include “one-tap” customer support for your other Google products even hardware devices like the Pixel phone or Home speakers. Google has also said it may hand out free Google Play credits to buy apps, music, and movies, as well as other possible deals. 15GB of storage will still be provided for free with every Google account and additional paid storage options will range from 100GB to 30TB costing between $1.99 per month to $299.99 per month.
