Google Storage Plans Downgraded

As previously anticipated, Google Drive's 25GB plan will no longer be available for new users. It was the most affordable storage plan: $2.49/month. Now the cheapest Google Drive plan offers 100GB for $4.99/month.



OLD:

NEW:

"Store up to 15GB in Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos, and then pay for additional storage as your account grows," informs Google. It's interesting that paid storage no longer increases Gmail storage limit to 25GB.



You can still find the old plans here, so I suggest to choose the 25GB plan if you need more storage because it will be removed soon. You'll also get some additional Gmail storage.



Existing users will keep the old plans. "If your account lapses, your credit card is declined, or you choose to change your storage plan in any way (upgrade or downgrade), you'll be asked to choose from among the new Google Drive storage plans. Once you choose a new plan, you'll no longer be able to switch back to the old one." I still have the plan that offered 20GB of storage for only $5/year.
