Users can restore backed-up data to their new device by clicking on the Restore option during the Android setup process or by downloading the Google One app when the device is up and running and tapping on the Restore from Your Backup option under Settings. Android users can back up their entire phone data that includes multimedia messages, photos, videos, and device data to the cloud through the Google One app.

Google One takes away the hard part of switching from one Android device to another. Google says the iOS, Windows, and Mac versions are coming soon. Note: The VPN is currently only available to Android users in the US (through the Google One app). If you frequently use public Wi-fi networks and happen to need a lot of cloud storage, this is a fair bargain. You wouldn’t even need to download another VPN app as the VPN in the Google One app can be activated by a single tap. Google One users on the 2TB or higher plan get access to Google One’s exclusive VPN, which Google says 'will encrypt all of your online activity for an extra layer of protection wherever you're connected.'

Google One users can share their storage plan with up to five additional family members (six in total, including the sharer) by creating a family group or by sharing a plan with an existing group.Īs a Google One user you can also share other Google One benefits like access to Google Experts and Google One’s exclusive VPN (more on this later) with your family.Īnother advantage of family storage is that while the storage space is shared by multiple users, other users can’t gain access to your files stored within the cloud unless you share them yourself. The only exception being Google Business products like Google Workspace (Formerly G Suite) which has a separate support team. Google One users get instant access to Google experts 24/7 if they experience any challenge while using the app or any Google-owned service.
