Google Raises Storage to 5TB at No Extra Cost, if You Already Pay for AI Pro
Google said the $19.99 monthly tier now includes 5 TB for Gmail, Drive and Photos, with current subscribers upgraded automatically.
- On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, Google One head Shimrit Ben-Yair announced that Google AI Pro subscriptions are expanding from 2TB to 5TB of storage at no additional cost for new and existing subscribers.
- This expansion adds 3TB of cloud capacity across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos while maintaining the monthly fee of around $20, making storage the primary value driver for the tier.
- In comparison, the $7.99 AI Plus plan offers 200 GB of storage, while the $249.99 AI Ultra tier provides 30 TB alongside Google Home Premium Advanced and early access to Project Mariner.
- At 5TB, the plan starts to feel less like "paying for AI and getting some storage" and more like "paying for a big storage plan that also includes AI," shifting subscriber perception.
- Subscribers also gain premium features including Google Meet and Calendar access, credits for video generation on Flow, and Gemini's "auto browse" mode in Chrome, with sharing available for up to five family members.
