Google Drive, the widely-used cloud storage service by the tech giant, is presenting users with an enticing start to the new year. Available on Android, iOS, and desktop, the cloud storage plans are now on a limited-time special discount. While the standard cost for the lowest tier of cloud storage in India is Rs 130 per month, the current offer allows users to subscribe to Google One at a significantly reduced rate of Rs 35 per month for a brief period.
Exploring the Exclusive Discounts
For new users, this limited-period offer opens doors to the benefits of a Google One subscription at a fraction of the regular cost. Google Drive plans in India commence at 100GB for Rs 130 per month. With the ongoing promotion, users can avail the service at a mere Rs 35 for the initial three months, following which the standard rate of Rs 130 per month applies. The 200GB plan is also up for grabs at a discounted price of Rs 50 per month for the first three months, reverting to Rs 210 per month thereafter.
Deeper Discounts for More Storage
For those in need of more substantial storage, the 2TB Drive plan is available at an attractive rate of Rs 160 for the initial three months, compared to the regular Rs 650 per month. This promotional strategy is clearly designed to attract new users by providing a taste of the platform at a discounted rate before the standard pricing takes effect. It’s an enticing opportunity for users seeking additional cloud storage space beyond the 15GB standard allocation.
WhatsApp Backup Integration
Adding to the significance of this offer, WhatsApp has recently announced a change in its backup policy. From early 2024, users’ storage quota will count towards their Google Drive account. This shift may lead more users to consider opting for paid Google Drive storage. The timing of Google Drive’s exclusive discounts aligns strategically with this major change in WhatsApp’s backup policy. Previously, WhatsApp backups on Google Drive did not impact the user’s storage space. This offer, however, is exclusively for users who have never subscribed to the Google One service, providing them an excellent opportunity to explore enhanced cloud storage capabilities.
