I saw the same pricing as you did but it _just_ changed as I refreshed the page a second time. 1 TB now costs $49.99 per month, or $600/year. This is a substantial jump from $256/year and means it's no longer an attractive proposition...

Same, I should have ordered faster!

It was available just minutes ago!! I landed a 200GB space for $50/year just before they changed the pricing plans. I should have gone for more :)

  I think you got an "old pricing plan," which does not include Google Drive: http://support.google.com/drive/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=39567&p=butter_old_storage http://support.google.com/drive/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answ... I'm in the same boat, having had an 80GB plan for $20/yr for some time now.

    I think you got an "old pricing plan," which does not include Google Drive I actually bought an 80GB "old" plan this morning ($20 isn't that big of a bet) after seeing the leak of the upcoming pricing, essentially trying to grandfather in a more favorable plan. While the comparison implies that the old plan doesn't have gdrive, I most certainly have it and have the full 80GB available in it. Further I retain the ability to renew the 80GB plan in a year without adopting a new plan. Perhaps they are simply saying that the people who bought the old plan got a lower price given that they didn't price in google Drive, however they definitely seem to be rolling that functionality in.

      I did the same thing. $1.67 a month (literally the price of my daily coffee) seemed very reasonable for 80GB of cloud storage with all the googly integration.

      I certainly hope you're right. Glad to know it's working for you. I haven't yet received access, so I can't tell.

      Shouldn't be hard to test; see if you can upload a 6GB file.

no longer an attractive proposition Depends where you're coming from... At $50 per T/month they're 50% cheaper than Amazon S3. That's nothing to sneeze at.

Looks like the old price plan only buys you storage for gmail, picasa and docs (and not Drive) http://support.google.com/drive/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=39567&p=butter_old_storage http://support.google.com/drive/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answ...

  Contrary to what that page says, my Google Drive client lists 205GB of space which is the free amount plus the exact amount I got with the old storage plan I have since the days when that was only 75GB (it got upgraded over time for the same price)

Are they AB testing the price? Or did the demand made them change it?

I'm got a completely different pricing plan than everyone is mentioning. Maybe they're doing some sort of price elasticity testing.
