For a moment I thought it was going to be another chat app. Instead it's... something? A one sentence description at the beginning of the page wouldn't hurt...
It seems to be google drive but with paid support.

#32Does the pricing make sense to anyone? 2TB is is $10/mo but 20TB is $200/mo. That means on a per-TB basis, the bigger plan is 2x as expensive. And then the 30TB is 2x as expensive as 20TB.
Aren't things usually cheaper when you buy bulk?

#33Is this to compete with Amazon Prime?

#34This “One” thing is getting a bit tired.

#35I just asked my girlfriend of several years to be in my family. We'll see how this goes.
Re: Google One
#36In 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?
Its google drive but developed by a different team.
Re: Google One
#37Google One is finally available in my country, although I was hoping for YouTube Premium, which isn't available yet.
Things to note:
1. Google's Drive File Stream is still not available for normal accounts, only for GSuite — I wonder why, because Backup and Sync is pretty shitty, at least on Macs
2. GSuite Business costs per user about the same price as Google One's 2 TB plan and you get essentially unlimited storage, Gmail on your own domain, a better ToS
In other words, GSuite is a much better deal, the only annoyance for people that are into Google Photos is that photos in your Drive won't appear automatically in G Photos (not covered by GSuite, different ToS) ... but that's probably a good thing :-)
So I'm wondering, for power users that would want this, why bother with Google One at all?
Re: Google One
#38Google OneDrive?
I thought that first. With the exception that they exactly leave the Onedrive storage class (1TB, 60$/year) out. If you are happy with 200GB, the Google offer seems to be a lot cheaper. If you need up to 1TB, you pay twice than for Onedrive. Theoretically you can even count Office 365 Home as a 5TB, 90$ option, which makes it even yet cheaper. However that's a bit more of an unfair comparison, since it would involve the hassle of using multiple accounts (and I'm not even sure if the Onedrive app would allow that on a single installation).

That’s usually the case, however they’re pricing for value, not some simple linear increase.
A business that needs 100TB (or whatever) has more to spend, and is much less sensitive to price.
Re: Google One
#40A lot of people are saying the page is really busy. Visiting on mobile (Firefox) this is probably one of the quietest landing pages I've seen:
A logo
A headline
Two short sentences
A sign up box
A note saying that paying customers will eventually automatically be upgraded.
That's it.
No pictures. No movies. No backgrounds. No parallax. No nothing.
Did they completely change the landing page since this was posted 20 minutes ago?
