  • Google has quietly rolled out a new Google One Lite plan to some users in certain regions.
  • This new Lite plan offers 30GB of storage for just Rs. 59 per month (~$0.70) but does not provide other benefits.

Update, September 10, 2024 (11:10 PM ET): Google has responded to our request for details about the launch of Lite plans for Google One, and confirms that in addition to India, the service is open to a limited number of users in Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia. All these nations should have access to the same 30GB storage tier we saw, and face the same restrictions when it comes to family sharing and those other additional features. At this time, Google’s not saying anything about where we might see availability expand to in the future.

Original article, September 10, 2024 (04:56 AM ET):  Google offers a cloud storage solution to consumers in the form of Google One, and it’s quite handy for making the most of your Android flagship. Google One plans get you more storage across Google services like Google Photos, Google Drive, Gmail, and more, and the higher tiers even get you access to Gemini AI features across the Google ecosystem. We previously discovered that Google was working on another tier called Google One Lite, and the company has now started rolling it out in some regions.
