Benefits of Google One
The main benefit of the Google One plan is the additional cloud storage that you can share with up to five family members. While families can share the same space, personal photos and files are only accessible to each owner unless you specifically choose to share them. Each family member can also enjoy additional benefits (provided you all live in the same country). Let's take a closer look at these benefits:
