Not sure what all the hate is about, I quickly figured out they were looking to sell me more storage space, though I do admit the page is really busy.

#22In what seems to be a standard move for Google these days, the page contains no information about the product for me as it's not available in my area yet. Would someone care to post that information?

#23I'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 an endless loop of ‘click here for pricing’ that goes to a page that doesn’t have pricing info and says to click another link for pricing...

This is Google's version of Amazon Prime

Why not actually read the page? Google One includes 100 GB storage Access to Google experts Option to add your family Extra member benefits
> Access to Google experts
So does this mean that if I pay for this as an Android dev and I have Play store issues, I can talk to an actual human instead of to a bot that just sends the same auto-reply ? And does it mean getting actual answers instead of them evading the question ?
Re: Google One
#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
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?
Google+? No, wait...
Re: Google One
#27That landing page was too busy and did a weak job at selling what "one" was if it's really more than a cheaper drop box. Expert access for $1.99/mo? Huh?
One is just the "in" thing like what "Cloud" was once. One has somehow equated to Storage in the Cloud that is accessible everywhere. OneDrive, OneNote, Ubuntu One etc.
Don't worry, It will, too, pass.

It seems like a kinda-sorta iCloud thing.
It's also a perfect example of how product management works at Google. It overlaps heavily with Google Drive and Google Photos and it probably only makes sense to the people who worked on it. Don't worry though, it will get cancelled just as soon as anyone can figure out what the heck it's for.
Re: Google One
#30Everyone is so busy asking "what even is this?" that they're forgetting to ask the more typical question about a new Google product - "will this still be around next year?"
