Remember that billboard puzzle google put up in 2004?
I think this might be the same thing.
If you can figure out what Google One is you are a genius!

#12After Google Plus comes Google One
Re: Google One
#13I'm confused. What is it? A storage bump? Paid support? A discount plan? A consolidation of all these offerings from different places into one home? This is such a bad landing page. I have more questions than answers.
It's a googlier Google. It's Extra Google. Could've been called Google Extra, but the word Extra has a negative connotation to it at this time. ...actually, even that interpretation seems applicable here.
It’s, like, Google plus more Google. What else would you possibly call that?
Re: Google One
#14I couldn't find anything about availability (24/7?), response times, or issue escalation for their 'experts.' If I got locked out of my account, would I still have access to an expert to help?

Why not actually read the page? Google One includes 100 GB storage Access to Google experts Option to add your family Extra member benefits
Google experts?
Re: Google One
#16Google One = Google Drive + more space + Customer Service for around $2 a month.
Customer Service is not called Customer Service but Google Experts. What does this mean for actual service?
The thing I like/jumps out for me is no compressing of images. That is one of the reasons I decided to go with Backblaze for backup. I would still stay with backblaze as I am not so confident about Google keeping the product around.
"Your stuff, anywhere". I have managed to setup a upload workflow for Backblaze on my linux machine without going through a browser. Not sure if it is possible in Google One drive. Browsers crash/freeze at the most importune moments. Then I need to restart the upload and pray. There is no way to say upload only the diff (atleast as far as I remember). The extra upload just means increased cost.
Still somewhere, someone in Google has finally listened(?) to the community and heard that customer support is needed. This is an excellent step in the right direction, I suppose.
Re: Google One
#17That is launched for a while now.
What is new from that page?
Re: Google One
#18Yeah it's confusing but give them a break it's their first try. Maybe they'll make it make more sense by Google two.
Re: Google One
#19So now we are going to get 5 copy's of Google drive..

Isn't it obvious? "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"(from faq) One is storage and the other is storage.
