Most smartphones, laptops, and tablets today come with storage capacities ranging anywhere from 128GB to nearly 2TB. Much as they may suffice for most, storing your data online means you may not always be able to access it on the go. In contrast, cloud storage services such as Google Drive allow you to access the same data across devices, anytime, anywhere, for a relatively nominal amount.
Speaking of nominal amounts, Google One is offering its Basic, Standard, and Premium storage plans at just Rs 100, Rs 50, and Rs 160 respectively, for the first three months. The Basic plan offers 100GB of storage, while the Standard plan offers 200GB of storage. The Premium plan, on the other hand, offers 2TB of storage. Here’s how to avail the same.
