Google is kicking off the new year with a special limited-period offer on its cloud storage service, Google One. Available on Android, iOS, and desktop, the discounted rates provide users with a substantial discount of over 70%. The standard monthly fee for the lowest tier of cloud storage in India is Rs 130, but the new offer allows users to subscribe for just Rs 35 per month for a limited time.
The special offer covers a range of Google Drive plans. The 100GB plan, which typically costs Rs 130 per month, is available at the discounted rate of Rs 35 for the first three months, after which it reverts to the standard rate. Similarly, the 200GB plan is offered at Rs 50 per month for three months, with the regular rate of Rs 210 per month kicking in thereafter.
For users looking for even more storage, the 2TB plan is available at a discounted rate of Rs 160 per month for three months, down from the usual Rs 650 per month. This strategic move by Google aims to attract new users by offering them an initial taste of the platform at a significantly reduced cost before transitioning to the standard pricing.
However, it’s essential to note that this offer is exclusively for users who have never subscribed to the Google One service before. This could be an ideal opportunity for individuals seeking additional cloud storage beyond the standard 15GB offered.
The timing of this limited-period offer is noteworthy, considering the recent announcement by WhatsApp that, starting early 2024, users’ storage quota will count towards their Google Drive account. This change is expected to prompt more users to opt for paid Google Drive storage, making the discounted Google One plans even more enticing.
