What is Google One, and what has changed in 2026?

Google One is Google's storage and AI subscription service. Since 2026, the company has consolidated several offerings under the name Google AI Pro, replacing the former names "Google AI Premium" and "Gemini Advanced." The idea is to offer a single subscription that combines Google Drive storage, Gemini AI, a VPN, and creative features.

In practical terms, this changes how the plans are structured. The standard 2 TB plan now includes Gemini 3 Pro and VPN. The 200 GB plan has its own AI tier (AI Plus). A new powerhouse has emerged: AI Ultra, offering 30 TB for $249.99/month.

• Google Drive storage — shared across Gmail, Photos, and Drive
• Gemini 3 Pro — Conversational AI, image generation, document analysis
• Google One VPN — Hides Your IP Address on Public Wi-Fi Networks
• Magic Eraser — Removing Objects in Google Photos
• Google Home Premium Standard — Advanced Home Automation Features
• Family sharing — up to 5 or 6 members, depending on the plan

What are the prices for Google One subscriptions in 2026?

Here is the complete price list, verified in May 2026 on the Google France Store. Be careful with "first-year" promotions on the 2 TB plan, as the price doubles upon renewal.

• Plan|Storage|Annual Price|Included
• Basic|100 GB|€19.99/year|Storage only
• AI Plus | 200 GB | €79.99/year | Advanced Gemini (limited)
• AI Pro | 2 TB | €99.99/year (first-year promo) / €219.99/year | Gemini 3 Pro, VPN, Magic Eraser
• AI Ultra | 30 TB | $249.99/month | Gemini 3.1 Pro, Deep Think, Agent

Basic Plan: 100 GB for €19.99/year

The entry-level plan. No advanced Gemini AI—just 100 GB shared across Drive, Gmail, and Photos. Enough for anyone who just wants to go beyond the free quota (15 GB). Includes a few minor perks like priority Google support and 10% cashback on the Google Store.

AI Plus Plan 200 GB for €79.99/year

The big upgrade. For €80/year, you get an extra 100 GB, and—most importantly—access to Advanced Gemini with daily limits. This is the mid-range option, but it’s especially worth it if you want to try out the AI without paying for the 2 TB plan.

AI Pro 2TB Plan: the sweet spot

The flagship plan. €99.99/year for the first year (promotional rate), then €219.99/year upon renewal. You get 2 TB of storage, Gemini 3 Pro (100 prompts/day, 1 million tokens of context—equivalent to about 1,500 pages), Magic Eraser, Google Home Premium, and Google VPN. Family sharing is available for up to 6 people.

AI Ultra 30 TB Plan: for power users

The top-tier plan. $249.99/month (approximately €230), for 30 TB and access to Gemini 3.1 Pro, Deep Think reasoning, Gemini Agent, and $100/month in Google Cloud credits. Target audience: developers, heavy content creators, and AI agencies. For most people, this is overkill.
