In a surprising move, Google One seems to have quietly eliminated its $3 per month 200GB storage plan. This change has been observed on various international Google One websites, suggesting a wide implementation of the new strategy. However, it remains unclear whether the removal of this plan was intentional or accidental, and some current 100GB users can still access the 200GB option. The latest Android news reveals about Google One may have removed the 200GB plan.
This alteration comes at a time when Google One celebrates reaching 100 million subscribers and introduces its new 2TB AI plan, featuring Gemini Advanced. Amidst the festivities and new developments, Google has attempted to implement a change to its storage plans, leaving those in need of a smaller storage capacity at a disadvantage. With the removal of the $3 per month 200GB plan, users who run out of space on their 100GB plan are now forced to upgrade directly to the significantly larger 2TB plan.
The missing 200GB plan was first noted by GoogleWatchBlog on the German Google One website, and further investigations have confirmed its absence on the US and Indian sites as well. This widespread removal suggests that Google is implementing this change on a global scale, impacting users from various regions.
Another possibility is that Google has begun to hide the 200GB plan by default for new subscribers in order to highlight the 2TB AI Premium option. After all, you can’t see Google One’s 5, 20, or 30TB plans unless you’re subscribed or signed in.
Google One’s apparent removal of the $3 per month 200GB plan has caused concern among users who prefer a smaller storage option. While it remains uncertain whether this was an intentional decision or an oversight, the fact that it has been eradicated from multiple international websites indicates a broad rollout. This change may disrupt the storage preferences of many Google One subscribers and prompt re-evaluation of their storage needs and plan choices.
