This page looks like http://hooli.com/ . Google does seem to have a sense of humor.
It is amazing how Google screws up any UI or explanatory pages apart from search. I guess common sense isn't taught in CLRS.

I wouldn't dismiss Google. I personally use both Google Drive and GSuite. The ability to search inside the files of your whole library (documents/pdfs/videos) is very useful, while the integration of gmail + Drive + Docs bumps your productivity.
How does it achieve searching inside photos and videos? Have they been fed to the machine classifier so that if I enter "Poland" it will try to show me my holiday photos from there?
Yes.

#135"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…
Just like Google Plus. “Plus.” Ugh. It’s a huckster hook word, engorged with talking points so that PowerPoint decks can prompt for easy segues during sales pitches.
The name Google Plus would have made more sense for this product in my opinion.

I think you're right on there. When I saw the title, my initial thought was that Google had developed some kind of rocket! In other words, the name gives so little information about what the product actually is that it could be literally anything.

#137Does anybody really trust google with any of their services? It’s here today gone tomorrow.
Re: Google One
#138This “One” thing is getting a bit tired.
Agreed. It didn't even make much sense a few years ago with products like the Xbox One or the HTC One. Heaven help us if Apple refreshes their Mac Pro as the Mac One.
"XBox One X". Maybe we'll start going with Roman numberals: Xbox One One, Xbox one one one, xbox One V, ... Xbox MCMLXXXVIII

Also: "One" has so bad SEO that Google One does not show up on the first page of Google Search results and OneDrive only on the third page. Google One was not on the first five pages.

A lot of Windows users probably know about OneDrive ( https://onedrive.live.com/ ) since this is a similar service, I totally understand the naming choice here.
Ironically OneDrive used to be SkyDrive until Sky sued them. I guess everyone's switching to numbers because words are all trademarked, apart from the phoneme strings generated by the pharma industry.
