Google One
The path of least resistance for Android and Gmail lives.
Google One costs $1.67/mo for the Basic 100 GB (annual) plan. A free tier is available.
On the Google AI Plus (2 TB), monthly plan, Google One works out at $5.00 per terabyte per month, based on the monthly billing price and therefore outside the ranked set. See the price per TB comparison.

About Google One
Google One upgrades the 15 GB free allowance shared by Gmail, Drive, and Photos: 100 GB for around $1.99 a month, 2 TB for $9.99, with family sharing across six people and extras like a VPN replaced over time by AI features on premium tiers. The convenience is real. Photo backup on Android just runs, the office suite is built in, and search inside your own files is the best anywhere.
The caveats belong in any honest review. Encryption is server-side (Google holds the keys and scans content per its policies), version history is limited, and a synced delete is a deleted file everywhere. Fine as storage. Do not call it backup.

Frequently asked questions
Who is behind Google One?
Google One is run by Google. That is the name on your invoice, in the terms and in the company register, while the website itself shows only the brand. If you searched for the company name and landed here, you are in the right place.
Is there a Google One discount?
Yes, through annual billing. The Basic 100 GB plan then costs $1.67 a month instead of $1.99 on a monthly plan, so the cost is 16% lower.
