Having launched Google Drive just two years ago, we’re excited that so many people are now using it as their go-to place for keeping all their files. Whether it's all the footage of your kids' baseball games, the novel you're working on, or even just your grocery list for the week, we all have files that are too important to lose. Today, thanks to a number of recent infrastructure improvements, we’re able to make it more affordable for you to keep everything safe and easy to reach on any device, from anywhere.

We've lowered the price of our monthly storage plans to $1.99 for 100GB (previously $4.99), $9.99 for 1TB (previously $49.99), and $99.99 for 10TB, with even more storage available if you need it. How big is a terabyte anyway? Well, that’s enough storage for you to take a selfie twice a day for the next 200 years and still have room left over for… shall we say… less important things. Like before, storage continues to work across Drive, Gmail and Google+ Photos. And, of course, the 15GB plan remains free.

Google drive is horrendous. Tried to use it a few weeks ago - crashed every time (on my phone).

Actually we're not talking about the app itself but the service. They reduced the price to a very low one. It will compete with the other services such as Dropbox, Box, etc.

I've had OneDrive for quite a while and they always throw promotions at you for whatever.... i now have 100GB (25GB paid / 75GB FREE)...




Can't complain as Google has always been hit or miss performance wise and it was like PULLING TEETH to get them to respond to me when they did away with my legacy plan.... I used to have like 65GB with them but now (w/ the 20GB free for their error) I only have 36GB.... BUNCH OF RIP-OFF ARTISTS at google, i would NEVER again pay for their service!!!

I too have Box. When I got the N4, they gave me 40GB. I had 10 previously. So now I'm 50GB old

Just discovered I have 25GB in Google Drive, I guess they give all Android users 25GB free?

Working without a single problem on my S4 and iPad, very odd that it crashed on a Nexus.
