Google One is a subscription service from Google that gives you more storage for your Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos, along with extra benefits. It's essentially an upgraded version of the free storage you get with a Google account. The service first launched back in 2018 and is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. You can download the Google One app to manage your plan. It has over 100 million installs on Google Play alone. While you need a Google account to use it, the basic app itself is free to download. However, to get the expanded storage and features, you need to pay for a monthly or annual subscription. There are no traditional in-app ads, but the app will promote its own subscription plans to free users.

I use the Google One app mainly to keep an eye on my storage usage across all my Google services. It's super handy because it shows everything in one place. A good tip is to use the storage management tool inside the app. It helps you find and delete large files or old emails you don't need anymore, which can free up space without having to upgrade your plan right away. The app also lets you share your storage with family members, which is a great way to get more value if you have a larger plan.

Compared to other cloud storage apps like Dropbox or iCloud, I stick with Google One because it's deeply integrated with the Google ecosystem I already use daily. While Dropbox is great for file syncing and iCloud is seamless on Apple devices, Google One feels more comprehensive for someone invested in Gmail, Photos, and Drive. The fact that it bundles storage for all these services into one simple subscription, plus throws in perks like Google Play credits or discounts on the Google Store, makes it a better overall value for me than managing separate storage plans elsewhere.

Features

  • 🔍 Unified Storage Dashboard: Unlike many apps that only manage one service, Google One gives you a single, clear view of how much space you're using in Gmail, Drive, and Photos. This holistic approach is its standout feature.
  • 🤝 Easy Family Sharing: You can add up to five other people to your plan with their own private storage allowances. This is much simpler than trying to share a single Dropbox folder structure with everyone.
  • ☎️ Google Experts Support: A unique benefit is access to live help from Google experts for any Google product, not just storage issues. You won't find this direct support tier in the free versions of similar apps.
  • 🛡️ Enhanced Mobile Backups: The app offers a more robust phone backup option for Android devices, going beyond just photos to include your MMS messages and call history, which is a step up from the basic backup in Google Drive.

Pros

  • ✅ Deep Google Integration: It works flawlessly with Photos, Drive, and Gmail. For someone living in the Google world, it's more convenient than using a separate service like Microsoft OneDrive.
  • ✅ Value-Added Perks: The subscription often includes benefits like Google Play credits or hotel discounts, which pure storage apps like Dropbox don't offer.
  • ✅ Simple Family Plan: Setting up a shared storage plan for your household is easier and more private here than with iCloud's Family Sharing, where purchase sharing is the main focus.

Cons

  • ❌ Limited Standalone Use: If you don't heavily use Google's ecosystem (Gmail, Photos), the app offers less value compared to a flexible service like pCloud, which works as a standalone drive.
  • ❌ No Free Tier Upgrade: The free 15GB is shared across all services and can fill up fast. Unlike Mega, which offers a generous 20GB free tier, Google One pushes you towards a paid plan sooner.
  • ❌ Platform Bias: While the app exists on iOS, the experience and some features (like full device backups) are optimized for Android, making it feel secondary on Apple devices compared to iCloud.
