Benefits Google One
Google Experts
Google Experts are people trained by Google to help answer customer questions about Google products and services. The normal Google user does not have access to these “Experts”.
Users get instant access to Google experts 24/7 if they run into difficulties while using the app or any Google-owned service.
The only exception is Google Business products such as Google Workspace which has a separate support team.
Family Plan
Users can share their storage plan with up to five additional family members by creating a family group or by sharing a plan with an existing group.
Backup for Android
GoogleOne eliminates the difficult part of switching from one Android device to another. Android users can backup all phone data including multimedia messages, photos, videos and device data, to the cloud via the GoogleOne app.
Users can restore the backup data to the new device by clicking the Restore option during the Android setup process or by downloading the GoogleOne app when the device is up and running and tapping the Restore from Backup option in Settings.
The Restore from Backup option will restore the backup data to the new device, saving you the stress of manually downloading your files.
