It’s also a straight rip off of a name from Microsoft...who produces the product Xbox One Not unlike how Google became alphabet which seems influenced by *Amazon A to Z
Strange analogy, surely it would have to be ripping off a product called ‘Microsoft One’
"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…
Sounds like something The Queen might enquire for looking herself up on Google, "How does one Google one?".

So looking from a single private user's perspective: Google One has best pricing, but no Linux native client and Dropbox has Linux native client and no flexible pricing.
I don't understand why they won't develop a client for Linux. Is it that difficult? Maybe the code could be also useful for Chrome OS and I guess many Googlers use Linux, so it would be useful for them too. I stick with Dropbox for the Linux support. It is fantastic. It works on servers, with no GUI, so I can easily sync stuff from my Windows Laptop and my Linux server, where I perform scientific stuff.
We're also the only set of users that will actually saturate the oversold storage while still burning through that $2.50 worth of customer service with a single question prefaced with "hi, I run Linux."

Names are hard. Maybe "Google Bundle"?
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? :)
Also, high value digital artifacts like my book projects and customer work get backed up automatically to remote git servers.
I seldom do local backups anymore on my MacBook to TimeMachine, perhaps once a month, and for backing up my Linux laptop I only back up to multiple cloud providers and git remote services.
Does anybody really trust google with any of their services? It’s here today gone tomorrow.

If Google created Google Windows and the product wasn’t an OS, it’s still a rip off right?
It’s one thing when it’s Apple/google maps because it’s a generic and descriptive mark, but One? Should have just gone full stop Google Windows.
