Google AI Pro plan now offers 5TB of storage
What's the story
Google has announced a major upgrade for its AI Pro subscribers, offering an increase in cloud storage from 2TB to a whopping 5TB. The best part? There is no extra cost involved. The tech giant has already started rolling out the update, automatically adding the additional storage to accounts of both existing and new Google AI Pro subscribers.
Plan details
Billing will remain unchanged
The upgraded Google One AI Pro plan now offers 5TB of cloud storage for Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. The company has confirmed that the billing will remain unchanged and all AI-related features under the AI Pro plan will continue as before. Users were notified about this upgrade via an email from The Google One team.
Bundle benefits
Update extends to Jio users as well
The storage upgrade also extends to Reliance Jio users who have availed the Google One AI Pro subscription through bundled offers. The benefit is applied automatically, with no additional cost or action required, bringing Jio-linked subscribers on par with standard Google AI Pro users worldwide. The move is part of Google's strategy to provide more space for user data as its services continue to evolve and require more storage capacity.
Subscriber exclusivity
Storage increase exclusive to AI Pro plan
The storage increase is exclusive to the Google AI Pro plan, leaving standard users on the same old limits. The move comes as a response to the growing demand for storage due to larger files created and managed by features in Gemini, Docs, Photos, and Drive. Shimrit Ben-Yair, Google's VP and GM of Google Photos and Google One, confirmed this development on social media platform X.
