Just upgraded my standard account to Google One 100gb. One thing I love is now I no longer need to worry about increasing data storage size due to my increased storage capacity. Another thing I love is the affordability of the plan pricing which to me is very fair.
@@Brick_dont_hit_back Hi Andrew, any Photos in Google Photos will upload to your Google One storage if you have back-up turned on. For any other type of files you can drag and drop what you'd like to keep in your Google Drive. Hope that helps!
I have paid Rs 1300 for 100GB of storage as annual subscription to Google one on 2nd Dec 2021. I thought that i will 100 GB is per month for a year. Then why is it showing that my Google storage is almost full?
Hello, First of all, great video, very informative. I just have one query. If I select the family plan, how will the space be shared? Will it be from the 100GB? And will the files be accessible for others as well or should it be shared?
Hey Prashanth - thanks! First things first, when you use a family plan, your personal files aren't shared with the rest of the family, and they can't access your files without your permission. If you set up a family plan, each family member (up to 5 people) would get 15GB of separate personal storage space for their files (which is used first), along with their shared storage. Shared storage is split between everyone in the family group and is the available storage space that comes with your Google One plan (in your case 100GB). So it's worth noting here that you're not deciding how many gigabytes of storage each person gets, your giving them shared private access to your available storage, along with 15GB of personal storage. All family members can also get support from Google experts, and the member benefits mentioned in the video. Hope this helps, any questions give me a shout.
Consider this scenario, I have free 15 gb storage out of which 7 gb is used and 8 GB is free. Now I subscribe to the 100 gb plan. So now will i have 7 gb used out of the 100 GB total and have 93 GB free ? or this 100 gb is seperate to the free 15 GB so total 115 GB. Because for instance, I subscribe for like 5 months, and end up using around 50 Gb out of the 100 GB. So If I unsubscribe , will get back the free 8 GB which I had before subscription ? because if not, as I could see from other comments, i won't even be able to receive any emails and that is not what I want.
thank you for the video. very helpful. what I want to ask is whether after buying a data package, 2 or 3 devices can be used with the same email. or only 1 device with the same email?
Happy to hear it helped! You can easily log in to Google One from multiple devices with the same Google Account, either through the app or a web browser. Once you're logged in you'll see that nearly everything is the same across the board, but you will also have a few device-specific options. For example, if you head into the [Storage] menu, your 'Device backup' option would be relative to the device you're using, allowing you back up each of your devices multimedia messages, photos & videos to Google.
Hey Patton, one of the great things about Google Photos is that you can access the files from anywhere once you're online. You can get to your Photos through Google One (one.google.com), however these are still stored in Google Photos (photos.google.com). Head over to Google Photos and you can select the photos you want to download (tick them individually, by day, or [shift] + tick your first and last selection. Once you've selected the photos you want to download, click the three dots in the top right hand corner and select download. Google Photos will automatically .zip these for you into one file so you can easily move them between a PC and Mac once they're downloaded. They'll stay backed up to your Google Photos account too. For a quick way to export your entire Google Account, including all your Photos, head over to takeout.google.com. Hope this helps!
Thanks boss, but I didn’t understand HOW to get more storage? Also, I’m currently paying $19.99 per year already for 100 gigs of storage and I’m puzzled as to why it isn’t enough 🙄😳
Hi, within the Google One app you should be able to see how much storage you're using (both on the Home page and within Storage). If you are close to or exceeding your paid sub then a banner usually gives you an 'upgrade' option from the Home tab. But you can always go to the 3 lines menu (burger menu) at the top left and tap on Membership plans, to see your upgrade options.
Great question. Yes and no. If you stop paying then you'll still be able to access what you have stored, but you'll no longer be able to use it to back anything up. Your email may not go through as this also uses your Google One storage. Your content will not be deleted however, and you may get some notifications from Google about how best to manage your storage to get you back under the 15GB threshold that you get for free. I hope this makes sense?
hi Nathan, I have 2 questions.. Question 1: I have used 13GB out of 15GB of my free storage. Now, if I buy a 100GB & started backing up, will it first fill up the remaining 2GB of free storage and then come to the 100GB or it will start with the 100GB itself and leave my free 2GB space untouched? Question 2: if I buy a 100GB/month plan and backed up for example 80GB of photos and cancel the plan after a month, now will I still have access to the 80GB of photos I backed up? (Note: by now since I've backed up, I would've deleted the 80GB of photos from device or local storage)
Hey Ashutosh, Q1) The 100GB plan gives you a total of 100GB including your free allowance. So if you've used 13GB and you pay for the 100GB sub you'll have 87Gb left. Q2) Yes you'll be able to access the 80GB of photos but because you're no longer paying and will have exceeded your allowance, you will not be able to add anything to the cloud, including photos, videos, flies, and emails. So you wouldn't be able to receive emails until you have storage available for them.
@@tompengilley2688 what if I subscribed for 100GB plan, and used all the storage f.e in 1-2 months, what then? I will need to subscribe to another plan (f.e 200GB) as 100GB plan will not be available for me anymore?
Hey Gareth, good question. A Google account gives you access to all of the Google apps and services with one login so that you don't have to remember loads of extra login details and appropriate data can be shared between your different services, making them even more helpful. Google One is an extension of your Google Drive account, where you can already store things like photos, files, emails, and backups (up to a maximum of 15GB). So even though you aren't paying for all of the extra benefits Nathan talks about in the video you are getting the benefit of the most up to date backup system for your phones data.
I have a Samsung phone and Mac book pro, both are running out of space. How do I link both to Google one. And how do I free up space for both the devices, I don't use Google drive but don't mind using it. Can Google drive support all Mac data. Can there be only one copy for certain files on Google one. If so how? Many thanks
Hey Digvijay, Google One can help you in several ways. If you match it with the same Google account as you use for Google Photos (or just your Google account if you only have one) then it will increase the space you have and you can set Google Photos to automatically delete photos and videos from your mobile phone once they're backed up. You can also set your phone to do regular backups to the increased space in Google Drive and manage them through the Google One app. This should solve the problem with your Samsung phone. Then you can use the extra space in your Google Drive to move things off your Macbook Pro's hard drive and into the cloud. You can use Drive for desktop (support.google.com/drive/answer/10838124?hl=en) to manage what gets backed up. Let us know how you get on :)
Hey Maliha, happy to hear it helped. If you upgrade to a Google One plan on the same account your Google Drive and Google Photos account are on, it would use these services. This means, if you are currently using Google Drive with the 15GB free storage, and upgraded to the base Google One subscription, you would see your Google Drive space increase to 100GB. There is no changing or moving of files needed. Google One ties these services together through one app along with the other member benefits mentioned, but you would still be using the same Google Drive and Google Photos if the accounts were the same, and their respective apps. Hope this helps.
Hey Bobby, if you decided to cancel your 100GB plan, you would still have access to all the content currently on your drive - this isn't deleted. However, if this content is over the 15GB limit you would not be able to add any more content until you made space. This would also effect you being able to send/receive emails on the account until you are either back within the 15GB limit or reactivate your subscription. Hope this helps.
Thanks Jessica, happy to help! Google One is a service which will work on Android and iOS devices, so you'd get all the same benefits using your iPhone as well. Just search for the Google One app in the App store, from your iPhone or iPad, open the app once installed and select the plan that's right for you. Any other questions just give me a shout!
Hi nathan, I'm unable to upgrade my subscription for extra storage through Google one even using different payment methods. As my storage is full I'm unable receive or send email through gmail.. what do I do next? Thanks!!
Hey Jazzman, thanks for the question. Google Drive is a storage service. Google One is a subscription plan that gives you more storage to use across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. Plus, with Google One, you get extra benefits and can share your membership with your family. How you use Google Drive doesn’t change, so you don’t have to worry about losing or transferring anything. Hope this helps - we have an updated video that answers some of the most popular questions here: ua-cam.com/video/jYIFquT9brQ/v-deo.html
I'm afraid not, this space is for files, emails, music, photo's and videos. You could store an application file here but not run an application from this storage. And UA-cam videos are either in UA-cam or if you can download them, on your device.
Hey Abosultan Alanazi, I'm assuming you mean UA-cam Premium and unfortunately not. Google One is storage and depending on your package some discounts on other things. UA-cam Premium is seperate.
Hello Nathan/Google, Need some help if possible please. I have a new Pixel 5 and have purchased a new Google 1 plan to make sure there is adequate back-up in case I need it. I already had a lot of data on the Pixel 3 (currently on 90%), and of course that is all now on the P5. My question is... how do I make sure any new photos/videos now go straight onto the Google 1 space? Many thanks 👍🏻
Hey flygumbo, Thanks for reaching out. If you head into your Google Photos app on your Pixel 5 and click your account settings (top right), you can head into 'Photos settings' and control your 'Backup and sync' options. Make sure that 'Back up & sync' is enabled then head down to the 'Upload size' options. Here you can choose whether your Pixel 5 uploads at Original quality or High quality. On Pixel 5, 'high quality' offers free and unlimited space for all your photos and videos, downscaling photos to 16MP and videos to 1080p if necessary. This is perfect for most, but if you wanted to upload images and videos in their original quality (e.g. 4k), you can select 'Original quality' uploading, which will now count towards your Drive space on your Google One storage plan. You can still access your photos and videos in the same way, either through the Google Photos app, or via photos.google.com. Hope this helps, any questions feel free to reach out again. Cheers!
@@Nathan.Google many thanks for your response Nathan. I have gone with the second option, that was why I went with the 100GB deal. Am currently on 4% of those 100, so looks good for the "transfer". One last question: does the same apply for videos too? For example (vids and pics) from WhatsApp? I want to make full use of that 100 gig.
Can anyone help with this please? It seems like I am permanently on 127GB out of my 128GB mobile limit! I have approximately 90% left of my 100GB space on Google 1. How can I transfer the larger files to G1 so the "storage is nearly full" notifications stop?!! Is this type of transfer even possible? Many thanks...
Hey Danny, I'm afraid not. Google One is for Google Drive files, Gmail, Photos, Videos, audio recordings and device backups. (While you can store any files you want in Drive and things like 'apk' files can be stored, I'm assuming you mean actual usable/playable apps.)
It was indeed! In this particular example I was using the web app over at photos.google.com. It has colour filters, basic adjustment tools and more granular control. We covered some of its other features in this video: ua-cam.com/video/WII2tSbeIZA/v-deo.html -- hope it helps!
Hey SAM, Because your Google Drive (and Google One Account) are linked through your Google Account, you can head straight over to drive.google.com, or download the app on your new device, and sign in with your Gmail e-mail address and password. You would then see everything that has been backed up to your Drive. Hope this helps - give me a shout if you have any more questions!
Hi, your photos and videos will still be available and you'll still have access to them. But you wouldn't be able to add anything else and anything that you took out wouldn't be able to be added again if you have exceeded your free or paid online storage. This would include photos, videos, files, and emails, so you wouldn't be able to receive new emails until you have space for them.
Hey Nathan, I’ve a doubt. I just signed in my 100GB annual plan. So until I exceed my 100GB Storage space I don’t have to pay again right? Because it has mentioned as 1 year plan.
Hi Amrutha, yes if you paid the annual subscription then you won't have to pay again until next year or you want more space. Of course, that does depend on how you decided to pay as there would have been annual or monthly options.
Do you have to buy the GBs every month or can you just for example buy 15GBs and then stop buying them? Will the ones you bought stay or? Can u please explain
Hey Daria, every Google Account starts with 15GB of free storage that's shared across Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos. When you upgrade to Google One, your storage increases to 100GB or more depending on which plan you choose. This service is charged monthly or annually for the storage size you choose. If you cancelled your subscription, you wouldn't lost your files, but your paid storage would end, taking you back to the 15GB of available storage, and therefore if you were already over this limit, you would not be able to add any more personal files, and you may not receive emails through your Gmail account, where this storage is also used. Hope this helps.
Hey great video, i have one question and cant find the answer, if i pay for the 100gb service for a year and have my google one with 70gb and i want to cancel the 100gb service, will i lose my data? and only have the 15gb free plan i had before losing 55gb of data?
Hey Alexandre, great question. The most important thing here is that even if you cancel your subscription, you won't immediately lose access to any of your files already uploaded. Cancelling your subscription isn’t the same as cancelling your account. Those files will remain on your drive, with a few caveats: - When you are over your quota, you won't be able to upload or receive any more files - including Photos and Video, and this also extends to Gmail as well, so you may miss some important emails until you free up enough space (every Google account comes with 15GB free space) or purchase a larger plan. - Google does have a policy where if you remain inactive or go over your storage quota for 2 years or longer, your content may be removed, so just keep that in mind, but for the short to mid term your files will stay where they are. Hope this helps, we answered this questions along with a few more in our latest Google One video here: ua-cam.com/video/jYIFquT9brQ/v-deo.html
Hey hey, thanks for the question. You don't need Google One to use the 15GB free Google Drive/Photos storage you get as a Google Account holder, but when the time comes to increase your storage, Google One is the place to do it. Aside from allowing you to purchase more storage, both the app and website will show you a breakdown of where your storage is being used (Drive, Gmail, Photos, Device backup), which devices are backing up, benefits available to you in your region, support and your settings. In short, the Google Drive app or drive.google.com is where you want to be for uploading files to store online or share. The Google Photos app or photos.google.com is where you can upload/edit/share your photos. And your available storage can be managed and increased through either the Google One app or one.google.com Hope this helps!
Hmmm, any phone getting hot because you've posted a question definitely isn't normal but I'm guessing that was a coincidence. Phone screens on their own don't usually heat phones up but the processing of whatever is happening on screen can. If this happens again I would go to Settings > Battery > Battery Usage and have a look at which apps used a lot of battery at that time. An app that has used a lot of processing power will use a lot of battery and both things create heat. And if that is happening in the background then I'd look at what permissions that app has and whether you think that app should be doing a lot when you aren't directly using it.
Hey Prazss, Currently there are no one-time payment plans available for Google One. However, Google does offer an annual subscription for those that want to pay less frequently, and the price of this would be cheaper in the long run - costing the equivalent of 10 monthly payments for the year. For example, a 100GB plan would cost £15.99 for the year when paid annually, instead of £1.59 month. If you are only needing an extra 10GB of storage, it may be worth setting up a second Google Account which comes with 15GB of free storage as standard. Hope this helps!
Hi Richo, if you upgrade you'll just have to pay the difference, and when your current monthly or annual payment cycle renews it will be on the higher tarrif.
Hey Greg, great question. In the Google One app you can go to Settings, then Manage backup settings, then you can select what you would like be automatically backed up from the specific device you are using.
Hi! So im sorry im alittle confused, so if i buy a plan and pay annual is it there forever, or do I have to pay the next year to keep it? Or if I buy the plan agian the next year does it give you more Gigabits?
Hello Maresa, think of Google One as more of a subscription versus something that you purchase once and is always there to use like a physical hard drive. Google One as an annual plan gives you access to the storage plan of your choosing and you would have to pay yearly or renew your subscription yearly to continue having access to it.
Hello, I have a question. Does google one have expert through call or chat? And can I upgrade on subscription yearly? For example, if I subscribe to 100 GB google one storage yearly, I can upgrade to 200 GB google one yearly plan, can I do that? Please answer this question!
If you head over to the Google One app, or website, you can select 'Settings' -> 'Change membership plan' and you will see the available options to upgrade (or downgrade) your current plan. The options here will let you choose either a monthly or yearly (annual) subscription. If you ever need help, as a Google One member, you have fast access to experts. If you head over to the 'Support' section you can choose to speak with someone via Phone, Chat or Email. Hope this helps!
@@McCartney-GoogleTrainer OK thank you for your answer. Really excited with google one. Especially it's very integrated with my pixel 4a 5g. And I'm very like with annual plan because it's save my money 17%. But, does google one is secure?
He's very mesmerizing, and I had to think about WHY. Did anyone else notice he LITERALLY blinked a total of 5 times throughout this entire video?????? Nathan, you're hot, but I think you're an AI guy. Anyway, thanks for the video. Going to look more into this account I have that I have no idea how to use. =)
Great question! If you decide to cancel your Google One membership (you can stop the monthly plan at any time), you'll lose access to your additional storage and revert back to the 15GB of free storage. If you have stored more than this on your drive, your files will stay safe and you can still access them, but you won't be able to store anything new. (You would still be able to store photos in Google Photos at 'High Quality' as this is free, as are Google Docs/Sheets/Slides etc but your associated Gmail account wouldn't be able to send or receive messages until you free up space or re-enable a plan with enough space. If you did cancel, your benefits would stay until the end of the billing cycle. Hope this helps!
Hey KUHANRAJ, happy to help with any follow up questions with clarification on what settings you are referring to. Google One can be used to back up your Android phone for example - which includes app data, call history, contacts, settings and sms messages (third party messaging apps often offer their own sync/backup service), and this procedure would differ depending on which type of phone you own. But as an example, Pixel has a Back up & Sync option in your system settings which can back up to Google Drive. Or, with Google One, you can open the app and head to the 'Storage and more with Google One' link and tap the 'Setup data backup' option. Remember, you can sync your bookmarks, history, passwords and other settings that are personalised to you through Google Chrome. Just head to your Google Chrome Settings-> More Settings, tap the account you want to use and make sure Sync is enabled. If you are looking to backup your phone to a new device and you still have your old device, you can connect both phones together during the setup process of your new phone, and Google will copy across the data you specify. Files from third party apps, like configuration profiles, or bookmarks from different web browsers, can also be stored on your Google Drive and downloaded at a later date. Hope this helps.
Hey Murray, Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are linked below: policies.google.com/privacy support.google.com/drive/answer/2450387 www.google.com/drive/terms-of-service/ I'd recommend having a read through of these first, but in short Google finish with the following statement: "We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our Program Policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t assume that we do." Hope this helps!
Hey SURYA, If you went for the 100GB plan, you would have 100GB of cloud storage available to store your files. This isn't a transfer quota but a storage quota, so you can move as much to and from your Google Drive as you like within that 100GB storage size limit. You can pay for your 100GB of cloud storage either monthly or annually. Google currently don't offer a one time payment solution for this service, but if you opted to pay annually for your 100GB, you would receive a 2 month equivalent discount every year. If you end up having more than 100GB of files you wish to store, you could either remove some files from your Drive to make space, or upgrade to the next plan available which is 200GB. Hope this helps!
Hi Jay, if your 100GB of storage became full you could use Google One's Storage Manager feature to manage unwanted files or upgrade to a 200GB plan. Depending on your uasge, other plan choices include 2TB, 5TB and 10TB.
Hi legoretto! After two years I’m still enjoying the features and benefits of Google One, especially the ability to back up my photos in original quality.
Hey Frida, Google Drive is a storage service whereas Google One is a subscription plan that gives you more storage to use across Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos, along with extra benefits like sharing your membership, discounted hotel rates, Google shopping offers and other 3rd party benefits, along with direct access to Google customer support experts. How you use Google Drive doesn't change, so you don't have to worry about losing or transferring anything. Hope this helps :)
Google will soon stop free members to upload high quality videos to their servers which is a disadvantage so google one plan makes senses if you wish to keep the quality of content intact
If I share my google one space of 100gb plan. Will all my family member whom I invited will get 100gb each or the 100gb will be divided in each family member?
Hey Ali, You can share Google One with up to five additional family members (that's six in total), all of which will share the storage space that comes with your Google One plan. Because of this, Google does not offer specific allocation sizes. Instead, everyone has unrestricted space within your [100GB] plan (without sharing any of your personal files - they can only see what you store if you specifically share it with them). Remember, everyone in your family group would already have 15GB of free storage with their Google Account, and they only start using the shared storage from Google One after they've used up their free 15GB. Hope this helps.
Hey Annette thanks for the question. You can get the Google One, Google Drive and Google Photos app on the iOS store too - as well as through your web browser (one.google.com / drive.google.com / photos.google.com) Hope this helps :)
Hi Yusuf if your storage plan is cancelled or expires you can't send or receive messages. Messages sent to you are returned to the sender and you won’t be able to store anymore photos or videos. Important: As of June 1, 2021, if you remain inactive or go over your storage quota for 2 years or longer, all of your content may be deleted.
Hi Radhika, To access Google One on your computer just head to the website one.google.com - this will give you control over your storage, benefits (including adding family members), support and your settings. If you want to store files on your Google Drive (with or without a Google One subscription) you can do this through drive.google.com And if you want to add Photos to your cloud storage (with or without a Google One subscription) you can do this through photos.google.com Hope this helps - any more questions give us a shout :)
I have a question. I can't seem to find out what this 100Gb even means. Does it mean that each month I get a 100Gb space to fill with stuff and pull off whenever? Or is it like "You can only upload 100Gb worth of information per month whether you take stuff off or not" Essentially, Can I upload a large 6Gb file to the storage space, download it elsewhere, then delete it and have 100Gb of space left? I cannot for the life of me get this question answered and it is the tipping point to have me join or not. Any help from someone with the service who knows how it works would be great! Thank you
Hey RellekEarth, happy to help. Your Google Drive allowance is yours to use as you wish. This means, for example, if you added a 6GB file to your 100GB drive, you would have 94GB free while the file is on there (and remember, anything created or shared with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides... does not count towards your limit). If you removed that file from your drive, your available storage would go back up to 100GB again. Whether accessed through one.google.com or drive.google.com, you are always shown how much storage you have used, and have left, in the options panel. Hope this helps.
Hello, i took the 100Gb storage plan yearly subscription. Does it mean that I get 100Gb every month or do I get 100gb ONLY for the duration of this plan Secondly, if I renew this plan again next year, does it mean I will get more 100Gb of storage?
Hey Yukta, thanks for the question. Google One plans are billed monthly or annually and give you access to the amount of storage in your payment tier. So with your tier, the 100GB plan, you will have access to this amount of storage until full and you will be billed for this annually. If you took a monthly plan it would be the same amount of storage but you would be billed monthly. If you cancel your plan you will still have access to what you have already uploaded but you won't be able to store anything new, over the free 15GB allowance, until you renew your plan.
Hi djana, You get the whole 100GB from the moment you start the plan, which would then be billed either monthly or annually. The storage plan sizes (eg 100GB) are referencing the amount of space you have to store your files. This means you can choose to store files there permanently, or remove them at a later date and free up that used space. Hope this helps, any other questions just give me a shout.
@@Nathan.Google hey Nathan let's say I buy 2 tb of space on google photos then I use it all, can I buy another 2 tb of space ontop of what I already have????????
Hey @@savioncampbell4235, your 2TB plan would be the only one linked to your main account. This means if you needed more that 2TB of storage, you could either upgrade to the next size up (10TB plan), or sign up for a second 2TB plan on a new Google account. Unfortunately, Google don't currently offer 4/6/8TB plans - but remember, you can share Google One storage and perks with up to give additional family members at no extra cost.
Hi sfya1, If you cancel your storage plan, your storage limits would be reset to the free level at the end of your billing cycle, which is usually 15GB. Any files you have stored on your Google Drive will remain there until you move or delete them, but you won't be able to add any more files if you are over the 15GB limit, and your Gmail services would be interrupted (no sending or receiving messages) until you are with the 15GB limit. Hope this helps!
@@Nathan.Google hello, can you tell me if this also applies to google photos please? Would a person still have access to their photos and videos and simply won’t be able to add more?

Hello,
First of all, great video, very informative.
I just have one query.
If I select the family plan, how will the space be shared?
Will it be from the 100GB?
And will the files be accessible for others as well or should it be shared?
Hey Prashanth - thanks!
First things first, when you use a family plan, your personal files aren't shared with the rest of the family, and they can't access your files without your permission.
If you set up a family plan, each family member (up to 5 people) would get 15GB of separate personal storage space for their files (which is used first), along with their shared storage. Shared storage is split between everyone in the family group and is the available storage space that comes with your Google One plan (in your case 100GB).
So it's worth noting here that you're not deciding how many gigabytes of storage each person gets, your giving them shared private access to your available storage, along with 15GB of personal storage.
All family members can also get support from Google experts, and the member benefits mentioned in the video.
Hope this helps, any questions give me a shout.
Good information Google team
Consider this scenario, I have free 15 gb storage out of which 7 gb is used and 8 GB is free. Now I subscribe to the 100 gb plan. So now will i have 7 gb used out of the 100 GB total and have 93 GB free ? or this 100 gb is seperate to the free 15 GB so total 115 GB. Because for instance, I subscribe for like 5 months, and end up using around 50 Gb out of the 100 GB. So If I unsubscribe , will get back the free 8 GB which I had before subscription ? because if not, as I could see from other comments, i won't even be able to receive any emails and that is not what I want.
thank you for the video. very helpful. what I want to ask is whether after buying a data package, 2 or 3 devices can be used with the same email. or only 1 device with the same email?
Happy to hear it helped! You can easily log in to Google One from multiple devices with the same Google Account, either through the app or a web browser. Once you're logged in you'll see that nearly everything is the same across the board, but you will also have a few device-specific options. For example, if you head into the [Storage] menu, your 'Device backup' option would be relative to the device you're using, allowing you back up each of your devices multimedia messages, photos & videos to Google.
Nice to get this info
Can I take the photos from google one and transfer to a pc/Mac then to a hard drive if I log in via my pc/Mac
Hey Patton, one of the great things about Google Photos is that you can access the files from anywhere once you're online. You can get to your Photos through Google One (one.google.com), however these are still stored in Google Photos (photos.google.com). Head over to Google Photos and you can select the photos you want to download (tick them individually, by day, or [shift] + tick your first and last selection. Once you've selected the photos you want to download, click the three dots in the top right hand corner and select download. Google Photos will automatically .zip these for you into one file so you can easily move them between a PC and Mac once they're downloaded. They'll stay backed up to your Google Photos account too.
For a quick way to export your entire Google Account, including all your Photos, head over to takeout.google.com.
Hope this helps!
Thanks boss, but I didn’t understand HOW to get more storage? Also, I’m currently paying $19.99 per year already for 100 gigs of storage and I’m puzzled as to why it isn’t enough 🙄😳
Hi, within the Google One app you should be able to see how much storage you're using (both on the Home page and within Storage). If you are close to or exceeding your paid sub then a banner usually gives you an 'upgrade' option from the Home tab. But you can always go to the 3 lines menu (burger menu) at the top left and tap on Membership plans, to see your upgrade options.
So I have to continue paying monthly subscription fee infinitely to keep the extended storage?
Great question. Yes and no. If you stop paying then you'll still be able to access what you have stored, but you'll no longer be able to use it to back anything up. Your email may not go through as this also uses your Google One storage. Your content will not be deleted however, and you may get some notifications from Google about how best to manage your storage to get you back under the 15GB threshold that you get for free. I hope this makes sense?
hi Nathan, I have 2 questions..
Question 1: I have used 13GB out of 15GB of my free storage. Now, if I buy a 100GB & started backing up, will it first fill up the remaining 2GB of free storage and then come to the 100GB or it will start with the 100GB itself and leave my free 2GB space untouched?
Question 2: if I buy a 100GB/month plan and backed up for example 80GB of photos and cancel the plan after a month, now will I still have access to the 80GB of photos I backed up? (Note: by now since I've backed up, I would've deleted the 80GB of photos from device or local storage)
Hey Ashutosh, Q1) The 100GB plan gives you a total of 100GB including your free allowance. So if you've used 13GB and you pay for the 100GB sub you'll have 87Gb left. Q2) Yes you'll be able to access the 80GB of photos but because you're no longer paying and will have exceeded your allowance, you will not be able to add anything to the cloud, including photos, videos, flies, and emails. So you wouldn't be able to receive emails until you have storage available for them.
@@tompengilley2688 what if I subscribed for 100GB plan, and used all the storage f.e in 1-2 months, what then? I will need to subscribe to another plan (f.e 200GB) as 100GB plan will not be available for me anymore?
Hello@@sushi_lesushi, great question. What you would have to do is upgrade our storage subscription from a 100 to a 200 GB plan or higher if needed.
I don't have a Google one account but my phone shows backing up to a Google one account. Why?
Hey Gareth, good question. A Google account gives you access to all of the Google apps and services with one login so that you don't have to remember loads of extra login details and appropriate data can be shared between your different services, making them even more helpful. Google One is an extension of your Google Drive account, where you can already store things like photos, files, emails, and backups (up to a maximum of 15GB). So even though you aren't paying for all of the extra benefits Nathan talks about in the video you are getting the benefit of the most up to date backup system for your phones data.
I have a Samsung phone and Mac book pro, both are running out of space. How do I link both to Google one. And how do I free up space for both the devices, I don't use Google drive but don't mind using it. Can Google drive support all Mac data. Can there be only one copy for certain files on Google one. If so how? Many thanks
Hey Digvijay, Google One can help you in several ways. If you match it with the same Google account as you use for Google Photos (or just your Google account if you only have one) then it will increase the space you have and you can set Google Photos to automatically delete photos and videos from your mobile phone once they're backed up. You can also set your phone to do regular backups to the increased space in Google Drive and manage them through the Google One app. This should solve the problem with your Samsung phone. Then you can use the extra space in your Google Drive to move things off your Macbook Pro's hard drive and into the cloud. You can use Drive for desktop (support.google.com/drive/answer/10838124?hl=en) to manage what gets backed up. Let us know how you get on :)
Your video really helped me. Can I just give up my Google drive and Google photo after having this?
Hey Maliha, happy to hear it helped. If you upgrade to a Google One plan on the same account your Google Drive and Google Photos account are on, it would use these services. This means, if you are currently using Google Drive with the 15GB free storage, and upgraded to the base Google One subscription, you would see your Google Drive space increase to 100GB. There is no changing or moving of files needed. Google One ties these services together through one app along with the other member benefits mentioned, but you would still be using the same Google Drive and Google Photos if the accounts were the same, and their respective apps.
Hope this helps.
Does it back up WhatsApp and all the media???
Hi can someone tell me if I decided to cancel my 100GB plan, will I still have access to my photos and videos that surpass the 15 GB free limit?
Hey Bobby, if you decided to cancel your 100GB plan, you would still have access to all the content currently on your drive - this isn't deleted. However, if this content is over the 15GB limit you would not be able to add any more content until you made space. This would also effect you being able to send/receive emails on the account until you are either back within the 15GB limit or reactivate your subscription.
Hope this helps.
Hello, is this membership only for google phones or iPhones as well?
By the way, very good video 👍
Thanks Jessica, happy to help!
Google One is a service which will work on Android and iOS devices, so you'd get all the same benefits using your iPhone as well. Just search for the Google One app in the App store, from your iPhone or iPad, open the app once installed and select the plan that's right for you.
Any other questions just give me a shout!
Hi nathan,
I'm unable to upgrade my subscription for extra storage through Google one even using different payment methods.
As my storage is full I'm unable receive or send email through gmail..
what do I do next?
Thanks!!
🚩Can I choose (upload manually) files I want ? I don't want every single photo to be copied to cloud automatically 🚫
Hey, you can choose to back everything up automatically. Or not, but then you will need to select each picture you would like to backup.
whats the difference between google one vs google drive?
Hey Jazzman, thanks for the question.
Google Drive is a storage service. Google One is a subscription plan that gives you more storage to use across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. Plus, with Google One, you get extra benefits and can share your membership with your family. How you use Google Drive doesn’t change, so you don’t have to worry about losing or transferring anything.
Hope this helps - we have an updated video that answers some of the most popular questions here:
ua-cam.com/video/jYIFquT9brQ/v-deo.html
👍 very interesting TKS
Hie Nathan so does this 100GB works if I download Applications or videos from UA-cam????
I'm afraid not, this space is for files, emails, music, photo's and videos. You could store an application file here but not run an application from this storage. And UA-cam videos are either in UA-cam or if you can download them, on your device.
Is it include UA-cam prime?
Hey Abosultan Alanazi, I'm assuming you mean UA-cam Premium and unfortunately not. Google One is storage and depending on your package some discounts on other things. UA-cam Premium is seperate.
Hello Nathan/Google,
Need some help if possible please. I have a new Pixel 5 and have purchased a new Google 1 plan to make sure there is adequate back-up in case I need it.
I already had a lot of data on the Pixel 3 (currently on 90%), and of course that is all now on the P5. My question is... how do I make sure any new photos/videos now go straight onto the Google 1 space?
Many thanks 👍🏻
Hey flygumbo,
Thanks for reaching out. If you head into your Google Photos app on your Pixel 5 and click your account settings (top right), you can head into 'Photos settings' and control your 'Backup and sync' options. Make sure that 'Back up & sync' is enabled then head down to the 'Upload size' options. Here you can choose whether your Pixel 5 uploads at Original quality or High quality. On Pixel 5, 'high quality' offers free and unlimited space for all your photos and videos, downscaling photos to 16MP and videos to 1080p if necessary. This is perfect for most, but if you wanted to upload images and videos in their original quality (e.g. 4k), you can select 'Original quality' uploading, which will now count towards your Drive space on your Google One storage plan.
You can still access your photos and videos in the same way, either through the Google Photos app, or via photos.google.com.
Hope this helps, any questions feel free to reach out again.
Cheers!
@@Nathan.Google many thanks for your response Nathan.
I have gone with the second option, that was why I went with the 100GB deal.
Am currently on 4% of those 100, so looks good for the "transfer". One last question: does the same apply for videos too? For example (vids and pics) from WhatsApp? I want to make full use of that 100 gig.
Can anyone help with this please?
It seems like I am permanently on 127GB out of my 128GB mobile limit! I have approximately 90% left of my 100GB space on Google 1. How can I transfer the larger files to G1 so the "storage is nearly full" notifications stop?!! Is this type of transfer even possible?
Many thanks...
Can I store my apps in Google one?
Hey Danny, I'm afraid not. Google One is for Google Drive files, Gmail, Photos, Videos, audio recordings and device backups. (While you can store any files you want in Drive and things like 'apk' files can be stored, I'm assuming you mean actual usable/playable apps.)
@@tompengilley2688 with google one u get free UA-cam premium?
Very cool. What photo app was that? Google Photo’s?
It was indeed! In this particular example I was using the web app over at photos.google.com. It has colour filters, basic adjustment tools and more granular control. We covered some of its other features in this video: ua-cam.com/video/WII2tSbeIZA/v-deo.html -- hope it helps!
Yes but how do you get the files from cloud when you change or lose your phone?
Hey SAM,
Because your Google Drive (and Google One Account) are linked through your Google Account, you can head straight over to drive.google.com, or download the app on your new device, and sign in with your Gmail e-mail address and password. You would then see everything that has been backed up to your Drive.
Hope this helps - give me a shout if you have any more questions!
So what if my membership is expired after on month what will happen to my photos and videos? @google
Hi, your photos and videos will still be available and you'll still have access to them. But you wouldn't be able to add anything else and anything that you took out wouldn't be able to be added again if you have exceeded your free or paid online storage. This would include photos, videos, files, and emails, so you wouldn't be able to receive new emails until you have space for them.
Hey Nathan, I’ve a doubt. I just signed in my 100GB annual plan. So until I exceed my 100GB Storage space I don’t have to pay again right? Because it has mentioned as 1 year plan.
Hi Amrutha, yes if you paid the annual subscription then you won't have to pay again until next year or you want more space. Of course, that does depend on how you decided to pay as there would have been annual or monthly options.
Do you have to buy the GBs every month or can you just for example buy 15GBs and then stop buying them? Will the ones you bought stay or? Can u please explain
Hey Daria, every Google Account starts with 15GB of free storage that's shared across Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos. When you upgrade to Google One, your storage increases to 100GB or more depending on which plan you choose. This service is charged monthly or annually for the storage size you choose. If you cancelled your subscription, you wouldn't lost your files, but your paid storage would end, taking you back to the 15GB of available storage, and therefore if you were already over this limit, you would not be able to add any more personal files, and you may not receive emails through your Gmail account, where this storage is also used.
Hope this helps.
Hey great video, i have one question and cant find the answer, if i pay for the 100gb service for a year and have my google one with 70gb and i want to cancel the 100gb service, will i lose my data? and only have the 15gb free plan i had before losing 55gb of data?
Hey Alexandre, great question.
The most important thing here is that even if you cancel your subscription, you won't immediately lose access to any of your files already uploaded. Cancelling your subscription isn’t the same as cancelling your account. Those files will remain on your drive, with a few caveats:
- When you are over your quota, you won't be able to upload or receive any more files - including Photos and Video, and this also extends to Gmail as well, so you may miss some important emails until you free up enough space (every Google account comes with 15GB free space) or purchase a larger plan.
- Google does have a policy where if you remain inactive or go over your storage quota for 2 years or longer, your content may be removed, so just keep that in mind, but for the short to mid term your files will stay where they are.
Hope this helps, we answered this questions along with a few more in our latest Google One video here:
ua-cam.com/video/jYIFquT9brQ/v-deo.html
Can i backup specific app data even if the devices I used are using different android versions (one is 11 and the second is 12)?
Google one. Google drive. What’s the difference??
I’m wanting to get something to store my photos.
Hey hey, thanks for the question.
You don't need Google One to use the 15GB free Google Drive/Photos storage you get as a Google Account holder, but when the time comes to increase your storage, Google One is the place to do it.
Aside from allowing you to purchase more storage, both the app and website will show you a breakdown of where your storage is being used (Drive, Gmail, Photos, Device backup), which devices are backing up, benefits available to you in your region, support and your settings.
In short, the Google Drive app or drive.google.com is where you want to be for uploading files to store online or share. The Google Photos app or photos.google.com is where you can upload/edit/share your photos. And your available storage can be managed and increased through either the Google One app or one.google.com
Hope this helps!
After posting the question below, my phone got very hot with the screen off. Is that normal?
Hmmm, any phone getting hot because you've posted a question definitely isn't normal but I'm guessing that was a coincidence. Phone screens on their own don't usually heat phones up but the processing of whatever is happening on screen can. If this happens again I would go to Settings > Battery > Battery Usage and have a look at which apps used a lot of battery at that time. An app that has used a lot of processing power will use a lot of battery and both things create heat. And if that is happening in the background then I'd look at what permissions that app has and whether you think that app should be doing a lot when you aren't directly using it.
How do I get more playstore storage?
Do you mean for downloaded apps? That's more of a phone or tablet storage issue sorry
Is there any plan where i can increase drive storage permanently? I just want to increase 10gb
Hey Prazss,
Currently there are no one-time payment plans available for Google One. However, Google does offer an annual subscription for those that want to pay less frequently, and the price of this would be cheaper in the long run - costing the equivalent of 10 monthly payments for the year. For example, a 100GB plan would cost £15.99 for the year when paid annually, instead of £1.59 month.
If you are only needing an extra 10GB of storage, it may be worth setting up a second Google Account which comes with 15GB of free storage as standard.
Hope this helps!
If I purchased the 100 gb, but want to upgrade to the 200 gb, do I get charged twice? First for the 100, and then for the 200 gb?
Hi Richo, if you upgrade you'll just have to pay the difference, and when your current monthly or annual payment cycle renews it will be on the higher tarrif.
How do you manage what is backed up? I don't want photos and videos saved, nor texts.
Hey Greg, great question. In the Google One app you can go to Settings, then Manage backup settings, then you can select what you would like be automatically backed up from the specific device you are using.
Hi! So im sorry im alittle confused, so if i buy a plan and pay annual is it there forever, or do I have to pay the next year to keep it? Or if I buy the plan agian the next year does it give you more Gigabits?
Hello Maresa, think of Google One as more of a subscription versus something that you purchase once and is always there to use like a physical hard drive. Google One as an annual plan gives you access to the storage plan of your choosing and you would have to pay yearly or renew your subscription yearly to continue having access to it.
With the shared account. What is level of privacy, can the other members see any part of my data? Eg photos,
Hi SV, with a shared Google One account other memebers won't have access to your files unless you share those files with them directly.
Hello, I have a question. Does google one have expert through call or chat? And can I upgrade on subscription yearly? For example, if I subscribe to 100 GB google one storage yearly, I can upgrade to 200 GB google one yearly plan, can I do that? Please answer this question!
If you head over to the Google One app, or website, you can select 'Settings' -> 'Change membership plan' and you will see the available options to upgrade (or downgrade) your current plan. The options here will let you choose either a monthly or yearly (annual) subscription.
If you ever need help, as a Google One member, you have fast access to experts. If you head over to the 'Support' section you can choose to speak with someone via Phone, Chat or Email.
Hope this helps!
@@McCartney-GoogleTrainer OK thank you for your answer. Really excited with google one. Especially it's very integrated with my pixel 4a 5g. And I'm very like with annual plan because it's save my money 17%. But, does google one is secure?

Glad we've inspired you to look into this more! I can vouch for Nathan and say he is a real life person, I work with him every day! :)
Does the data stored on the cloud get vanished once the plan expires..??
Great question! If you decide to cancel your Google One membership (you can stop the monthly plan at any time), you'll lose access to your additional storage and revert back to the 15GB of free storage. If you have stored more than this on your drive, your files will stay safe and you can still access them, but you won't be able to store anything new. (You would still be able to store photos in Google Photos at 'High Quality' as this is free, as are Google Docs/Sheets/Slides etc but your associated Gmail account wouldn't be able to send or receive messages until you free up space or re-enable a plan with enough space. If you did cancel, your benefits would stay until the end of the billing cycle.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for that answer, that helps
can google one backup settings?
Hey KUHANRAJ, happy to help with any follow up questions with clarification on what settings you are referring to.
Google One can be used to back up your Android phone for example - which includes app data, call history, contacts, settings and sms messages (third party messaging apps often offer their own sync/backup service), and this procedure would differ depending on which type of phone you own.
But as an example, Pixel has a Back up & Sync option in your system settings which can back up to Google Drive. Or, with Google One, you can open the app and head to the 'Storage and more with Google One' link and tap the 'Setup data backup' option.
Remember, you can sync your bookmarks, history, passwords and other settings that are personalised to you through Google Chrome. Just head to your Google Chrome Settings-> More Settings, tap the account you want to use and make sure Sync is enabled.
If you are looking to backup your phone to a new device and you still have your old device, you can connect both phones together during the setup process of your new phone, and Google will copy across the data you specify.
Files from third party apps, like configuration profiles, or bookmarks from different web browsers, can also be stored on your Google Drive and downloaded at a later date.
Hope this helps.
What are the privacy settings like? Does Google read everything that I write?
Hey Murray, Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are linked below:
policies.google.com/privacy
support.google.com/drive/answer/2450387

I'd recommend having a read through of these first, but in short Google finish with the following statement: "We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our Program Policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t assume that we do."

Just a query
Is it 100Gb per month or 100Gb till I use up all space. And do I have to pay every month to use that 100Gb space?
Hey SURYA,
If you went for the 100GB plan, you would have 100GB of cloud storage available to store your files. This isn't a transfer quota but a storage quota, so you can move as much to and from your Google Drive as you like within that 100GB storage size limit.
You can pay for your 100GB of cloud storage either monthly or annually. Google currently don't offer a one time payment solution for this service, but if you opted to pay annually for your 100GB, you would receive a 2 month equivalent discount every year.
If you end up having more than 100GB of files you wish to store, you could either remove some files from your Drive to make space, or upgrade to the next plan available which is 200GB.
Hope this helps!
What plan should I buy for Google One after my 100 GB plan is full? Do I have to buy 100 GB plan again,or upgrade 200GB plan?
Hi Jay, if your 100GB of storage became full you could use Google One's Storage Manager feature to manage unwanted files or upgrade to a 200GB plan. Depending on your uasge, other plan choices include 2TB, 5TB and 10TB.
After 2 years use, Do you still recommend it?
Hi legoretto! After two years I’m still enjoying the features and benefits of Google One, especially the ability to back up my photos in original quality.
I use Ipads and Iphone and have used Google Drive for years. Any advantagage to also get Google ONE plan at all?
Hey Frida, Google Drive is a storage service whereas Google One is a subscription plan that gives you more storage to use across Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos, along with extra benefits like sharing your membership, discounted hotel rates, Google shopping offers and other 3rd party benefits, along with direct access to Google customer support experts.
How you use Google Drive doesn't change, so you don't have to worry about losing or transferring anything.
Hope this helps :)
Google will soon stop free members to upload high quality videos to their servers which is a disadvantage so google one plan makes senses if you wish to keep the quality of content intact
If I share my google one space of 100gb plan. Will all my family member whom I invited will get 100gb each or the 100gb will be divided in each family member?
Hey Ali,
You can share Google One with up to five additional family members (that's six in total), all of which will share the storage space that comes with your Google One plan. Because of this, Google does not offer specific allocation sizes. Instead, everyone has unrestricted space within your [100GB] plan (without sharing any of your personal files - they can only see what you store if you specifically share it with them).
Remember, everyone in your family group would already have 15GB of free storage with their Google Account, and they only start using the shared storage from Google One after they've used up their free 15GB.
Hope this helps.
Dear: How many outsiders from public (I gave them the link) can watch my videos in google one at the same time? Thanks
Hey, you can share files with up to 600 individual email addresses. Thanks!

Hi Yusuf if your storage plan is cancelled or expires you can't send or receive messages. Messages sent to you are returned to the sender and you won’t be able to store anymore photos or videos.

Can we use it on PC? Can you please let us know how?
Hi Radhika,
To access Google One on your computer just head to the website one.google.com - this will give you control over your storage, benefits (including adding family members), support and your settings.
If you want to store files on your Google Drive (with or without a Google One subscription) you can do this through drive.google.com
And if you want to add Photos to your cloud storage (with or without a Google One subscription) you can do this through photos.google.com
Hope this helps - any more questions give us a shout :)
I have a question. I can't seem to find out what this 100Gb even means. Does it mean that each month I get a 100Gb space to fill with stuff and pull off whenever? Or is it like "You can only upload 100Gb worth of information per month whether you take stuff off or not"
Essentially, Can I upload a large 6Gb file to the storage space, download it elsewhere, then delete it and have 100Gb of space left? I cannot for the life of me get this question answered and it is the tipping point to have me join or not. Any help from someone with the service who knows how it works would be great! Thank you
Hey RellekEarth, happy to help. Your Google Drive allowance is yours to use as you wish. This means, for example, if you added a 6GB file to your 100GB drive, you would have 94GB free while the file is on there (and remember, anything created or shared with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides... does not count towards your limit). If you removed that file from your drive, your available storage would go back up to 100GB again. Whether accessed through one.google.com or drive.google.com, you are always shown how much storage you have used, and have left, in the options panel.
Hope this helps.
Hello, i took the 100Gb storage plan yearly subscription. Does it mean that I get 100Gb every month or do I get 100gb ONLY for the duration of this plan
Secondly, if I renew this plan again next year, does it mean I will get more 100Gb of storage?
Hey Yukta, thanks for the question. Google One plans are billed monthly or annually and give you access to the amount of storage in your payment tier. So with your tier, the 100GB plan, you will have access to this amount of storage until full and you will be billed for this annually. If you took a monthly plan it would be the same amount of storage but you would be billed monthly.
If you cancel your plan you will still have access to what you have already uploaded but you won't be able to store anything new, over the free 15GB allowance, until you renew your plan.
Do I recive 100GB monthly or once?
Hi djana,
You get the whole 100GB from the moment you start the plan, which would then be billed either monthly or annually. The storage plan sizes (eg 100GB) are referencing the amount of space you have to store your files. This means you can choose to store files there permanently, or remove them at a later date and free up that used space.
Hope this helps, any other questions just give me a shout.
@@Nathan.Google hey Nathan let's say I buy 2 tb of space on google photos then I use it all, can I buy another 2 tb of space ontop of what I already have????????
Hey @@savioncampbell4235, your 2TB plan would be the only one linked to your main account. This means if you needed more that 2TB of storage, you could either upgrade to the next size up (10TB plan), or sign up for a second 2TB plan on a new Google account. Unfortunately, Google don't currently offer 4/6/8TB plans - but remember, you can share Google One storage and perks with up to give additional family members at no extra cost.
If I do cancel the subscription after a year, so I still get to keep the 100GB?
Hi sfya1,
If you cancel your storage plan, your storage limits would be reset to the free level at the end of your billing cycle, which is usually 15GB. Any files you have stored on your Google Drive will remain there until you move or delete them, but you won't be able to add any more files if you are over the 15GB limit, and your Gmail services would be interrupted (no sending or receiving messages) until you are with the 15GB limit.
Hope this helps!
@@Nathan.Google hello, can you tell me if this also applies to google photos please? Would a person still have access to their photos and videos and simply won’t be able to add more?
@@Nathan.Google hi Nathan, I have 2 questions..
Question 1: I have used 13GB out of 15GB of my free storage. Now, if I buy a 100GB & started backing up, will it first fill up the remaining 2GB of free storage and then come to the 100GB or it will start with the 100GB itself and leave my free 2GB space untouched?
Question 2: if I buy a 100GB/month plan and backed up for example 80GB of photos and cancel the plan after a month, now will I still have access to the 80GB of photos I backed up? (Note: by now since I've backed up, I would've deleted the 80GB of photos from device or local storage)
