You can click to clean up things taking up storage but seeing what Google 1 suggests. They let you know before deleting stuff in folders that it will be permanently gone so to save you from deleting what you want to keep . Can see unsupported videos in your storage. > > **Cons**: I have experienced any problems at this time with Google 1. I don't have any negative views of this app. > > I am glad to have something that breaks down my storage into groups like trash, spam, large videos and files. I can easily choose which clean up service I want to do. Easy for anyone to understand and use. ----- ### "Clean up space will wipe your data" — 1.0/5 > **Andrew** | *26 August 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a good offering, but implemented very badly. Could be especially useful for people with lesser abilities and time to make alternative arrangements. > > **Cons**: Specifically, the way "clean up space" feature is implemented. We store data locally, so we can access our favourite pics and photos any time, without being connected. By implementing it the way they did google developers just stripped us of this ability. What is done very badly (read, unprofessionally): 1/ when you click on it, there's no warning what's about to happen, e.g. all your data will be wiped from your device 2/ there's no 'stop' and 'undo' 3/ the worst part, google support told me sorry there's no way to get it back - again, unprofessional, because it's not true. 4/ I found a way to get my data back, but ONE FILE AT A TIME (no bulk restore). I wish I could charge google for 3 months worth of restoring work\! > > Well, based on the above detail, I cancelled my google one subscription. Instead I implemented my own good old file backup process, which never failed me on other devices. I urge everyone to never trust this function and never click on that "clean up space" button. When you loose your data, don't tell me I didn't warn you\! 😊 ----- ### "Solid value for maximizing a free google account" — 5.0/5 > **Dave** | *27 September 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google one provides the extra storage space I need and a low price > > **Cons**: I'm not a fan of Googles tendency to remove services that folks begin to count on, hopefully Google One does not get removed > > Google One provides the extra storage space I need across multiple google accounts ----- ### "Google one - The best in back up - Could be better in cost + customer support" — 4.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *6 August 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It so versatile. You can use Google drive, have all the data synced up, and then get the data in other laptops. Search is so good. User interface is good , friendly and easy to use > > **Cons**: Cost is very high compared to other similar ones Customer support is not good as well. > > Overall Google One is excellent in meeting what it is build for. If it were more competitively priced would be a winner in its class. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/356039/google-one?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/356039/google-one) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
