Google One is finally available in my country, although I was hoping for YouTube Premium, which isn't available yet.
Things to note:
1. Google's Drive File Stream is still not available for normal accounts, only for GSuite — I wonder why, because Backup and Sync is pretty shitty, at least on Macs
2. GSuite Business costs per user about the same price as Google One's 2 TB plan and you get essentially unlimited storage, Gmail on your own domain, a better ToS
In other words, GSuite is a much better deal, the only annoyance for people that are into Google Photos is that photos in your Drive won't appear automatically in G Photos (not covered by GSuite, different ToS) ... but that's probably a good thing :-)
So I'm wondering, for power users that would want this, why bother with Google One at all?
- adjkant 8y agoI think you answered your own question - it's not targeting power users. IMO it's targeting a few groups: - Grandpa who wants to see all the family photos and is not completely behind technically - Grandpa's kids who are tired of being tech support for him and also probably have lots of photos they would happily store with Google - Generally, people 30-50 who want simple "just works" tech and probably will use the hotel discounts
