Does 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?
[poor man's offer] [crap offer] [real offer] [expensive crap offer]
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not necessarily. Many people pay for 2 TB without actually needing 2 TB. I currently pay for Dropbox Pro, which has 2 TB of space available, but I'm only using 300 GB. I'm pretty sure that at this point people going over 500 GB are a tiny minority. When you pay for 30 TB on the other hand, you probably need it, so their actual cost might be reflected well in that price. This is basically the long tail effect, so when…
Lol, I would just buy multiple 2 TB subscriptions from different accounts.
This and they have been working on making many accounts hard for some time now.
Prediction: this will shut down in 2.75 years.
I don't get the "they'll shut this down anyways" sentiment in every Google related submission on HN. It's getting tiresome.
"Google One" suffers from designer in a box syndrome. It's probably a great internal name - hey, we've been providing storage for photos, email, docs, drive, and more, for over a decade, and we've finally integrated that storage into one space, so let's call it Google one! It's a great name - simple and powerful, symbolizes the effort and direction we've taken in the past 5-10 years of integrating our consumer, day t…
Kind of related, I was recentl thinking about making some backups of valuable (emotionally speaking) things like wedding pictures. Currently they are backed up on my local machine and my server, but was considering cloud options. My wife does use Google Drive (paid account w/ Chromebook) but I don't feel that comfortable with Google things. Does anyone have good alternatives that perhaps respect privacy? :)

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...
Compare with https://www.dropbox.com/
"Dropbox is a modern workspace"
"Keep everything organized without breaking your flow"
I don't understand why these companies feel the need to describe their services in this way.
Their support site is far more valuable than the landing page. From the main support index at https://support.google.com/googleone/ here are various tidbits of useful content that the surrounding HN comments wished for (sorry, none describe the "expert help" available): "Get Google One": https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9004013 > With Google One, you get more storage, help from experts, and extra member be…
How on Earth are hotel discounts related to cloud storage?
