That 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?
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.
"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…
Does anybody really trust google with any of their services? It’s here today gone tomorrow.
I mean, I use online storage for my family pictures, my important documents etc. etc, and so the minimum requirement is that it is encrypted and the company contractually agrees not to snoop, data-mine or even sell that data. Google basically tells you they will do all of that, tied to the most invasive unique ID except than maybe facebook.
Why would anyone actually do that? That's just a disaster waiting to happen...
Consolidation of the services is nice, but I feel like this is just getting creepier and creepier. It’s like “put your entire digital existence onto our platform” Oh and by the way took “don’t be evil” out. Now give us all of your data, look at this beautiful UI! Sorry Google, I don’t trust you anymore, I used to love you, it used to be about the ideals and ideas, but now avarice has possessed and consumed you. No th…
It feels like there is an ever growing privacy awareness yet companies like google keep pushing the cloud storage for typical consumer. I’d be curious to know how average person feels about storing their private photos in google’s servers.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Yes, it will even conveniently estimate the exact plan you'll need to purchase in order to store all of your posts, collections, and important communities.
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?
They put expensive pricing out so that the items covering 90% of their userbase look more appealing. Pricing 101. Look at any free to play game where you can buy in-game currency. [poor man's offer] [crap offer] [real offer] [expensive crap offer]
