Google slashes Drive storage prices, heats up competition
Google has up the competition in the cloud storage segment as it slashes the prices of Drive monthly storage plans.
Google is now offering its 100 GB plan
for just $1.99, which was previously priced at $4.99. For 1TB, Google
has more lucrative offer. It’s now available at $9.99, earlier it was
priced $49.99. Google’s 10TB plan is now available with option of adding
more space, starting at $99.99. For 20TB storage, you have to shell out
$199.00 a month, while 30 TB is available for $299.99. The standard
15GB drive is still free.
On the other hand, Dropbox offers 2GB of
space free, while extra storage starts $9.99 a month for 100GB while
Box gives you 10GB of free storage off the bat, and charges $5 a month
for 100GB. "Whether it's all the footage of your kids' baseball games,
the novel you're working on, or even just your grocery list for the
week, we all have files that are too important to lose," says Google
Drive's Director of Product Management, Scott Johnston, wrote in a blog post.
"Today, thanks to a number of recent
infrastructure improvements, we're able to make it more affordable for
you to keep everything safe and easy to reach on any device, from
anywhere." If you are an already paid Google Drive user, Google will
upgrade your plan at no additional cost.
