Google One is a subscription service developed and offered by Google. It provides more cloud storage than what is commonly offered by Google Accounts and is intended for the general public. Sharing a Google One subscription is a good way to benefit from a large storage capacity at a low cost. We explain how to enjoy a Google One subscription with multiple users, ensuring that the experience is optimal for each user.
