I don’t see Google raising that storage limit anytime soon. They’ve spent the past 2 years years trying to get rid of storage requirements on their end. They combined drive, email, and photo storage in the same storage limit. They’re about to start trimming inactive Google accounts. The plan here is to push people into the higher 1TB plan which might be more profitable for them. I’m amazed the price for the plans have held steady. I’d expect a price increase from either Google or OneDrive.
Exactly, I had GSuite and purchased 1tb storage for Drive. Now I’ve been moved to Workspace and they’ve cut each user down to 30gb (I’m the only user) and my Drive space doesn’t count for any of it. Drive says I have 1tb but Workspace Admin says my user is 300% over the limit.
Google themselves told me I need to purchase more storage (or up the number of users) and try and get a refund on the 1tb storage. Bizarre.
Not to mention ending the lifetime free uploads to Photos from Pixel phones
It’s still honored for phones that had it, but phones after the Pixel 4a don’t get the free storage option.
No company will. Apple is the same. 5GB base. But for just $1, you get 50!
It’s a nice bit of reoccurring revenue for big tech right now. No one is getting rid of it. Not in this economic climate.
I bought the 2TB package because my wife needs the extra features for her side-business/hobby, like the appointment slots, no time-limit on Google Meet, etc.
And since we already use Google for most of our stuff it was the rational choice.
