Google Limits 200GB Storage Plan Signup, Pushes More Expensive Tiers
• Google One has hidden the 200GB storage plan option for new subscribers, making it more difficult to sign up for. The 100GB, 2TB, and 2TB with AI Premium plans remain visible.
• Existing subscribers can still access the 200GB plan by upgrading through account settings after subscribing to another plan.
• The 200GB plan is still visible in some places, like the Android app, but is now hidden during initial signup on the web.
• This change happened around the time Google announced Google One surpassed 100 million subscribers and started focusing more on promoting its AI Premium tier.
• Hiding the 200GB plan removes a middle option and puts more emphasis on getting users to upgrade to the more expensive 2TB AI Premium plan.
