The automatic backup features are especially convenient, and the extra storage options are affordable. I also appreciate the added perks like VPN access and family sharing, which make it more than just a storage service. > > **Cons**: One downside is that the pricing can add up over time if you need higher storage tiers. Also, some features—like the VPN—aren’t available on all devices or regions, which limits their usefulness for certain users. > > Overall, my experience with Google One has been very positive. It’s easy to use, reliable, and integrates smoothly with tools I already use daily. While there are a few limitations, the convenience and added features make it a solid choice for cloud storage and backup needs. ----- ### "Time Saver" — 5.0/5 > **SHERREE** | *9 June 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Can see my storage that is used and what I have left.

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.
