It's been almost a decade: Give us more base Google One storage already
Google One has offered the same 100GB of base storage for roughly a decade now, but it's high time that Google stepped up its game.

It's not only Google the whole industry seems to have increased the prices and reduced the free goodies. Hell Google was even providing unlimited photo backup for Pixel phones. This also died.

I’m pretty sure they’re not giving any extra storage for free. I’m also like 85% sure you can buy more capacity. I’d argue 100GB is a fair amount of storage that can be expected with a base subscription.
Or they could add SD card option on phones so that we don't lose our data when our phone dies.
Except that SD cards are way less reliable than phone storage. Another thing is that if you lise your phone or it gets destroyed you lose SD as well. Alway have multiple backups
You can certainly get more storage but 100gigs is a joke. A modest 4k video can easily exceed 1gig and 100 videos isn't very much. Considering how storage prices have crashed in 10 years and the price is still the same for 100gigs it feels like pretty obvious shrinklation.
It's $2 per month. That includes the unlimited(?) bandwidth, too.
I can upload and delete and download as much as I want, as long as I have free space.
If you're interested, you can run your own NAS. I also do it, and just the power alone is $1 per DAY. Paired with the fact HDDs fail, so you can be expected to replace your drives every 3ish years. I just replaced one of mine, cost me $600. I'm sure another drive will be failing in the next year or so. Plus parity drives to help with any data loss, which essentially means paying for a really massive drive, but not getting to use any of it.
So ya. $2 for unlimited bandwidth, no power cost, no worrying about data loss, that's pretty good.
How about you get your 100gb elsewhere?
There is nothing free in this world..
$2/month for 100GB of backed up storage is already a pretty good deal.
