Google One is a subscription service that offers a few extra perks beyond a Google Drive subscription: some of the larger Google One plans even include access to Gemini Advanced, the most advanced version of Google’s AI model. And unlike a regular Google Drive subscription, you can share a Google One subscription with family members, giving everyone in the household access to a large pool of cloud storage, plus a few other perks.
How Family Sharing Works with Google One
The first step to this is to set up a Google Family.
Now that you’ve set up a family group, it’s time to share your benefits with the rest of your family. Once again, back at one.google.com, click the Settings cog at the top of the screen, then select Manage family settings. You should now see an option to Share Google One with family with a toggle next to it. Select the toggle to turn it on (the toggle will be on the right when it’s on). This will share Google One with your family.
Keep in mind that your family will still have their own “individual storage.” However, once their individual storage is full, they will begin to benefit from the “family storage” you unlocked with both the family group and your Google One subscription.
