| how come it is now more expensive for google drive. $5 dollars a year for 20gb sounds a lot better than $2.50 a month for 25gb. | mk0813 | 4/24/12 11:05 AM | I should have paid the $5 a couple days ago. Should still have that option. I think this is a terrible system. |

You can use Google Drive for free to store up to 5 GB. Beyond that, we have very affordable plans: 25 GB for $2.49/month and 100GB for $4.99/month. Thanks, |

I hope so, otherwise I will be paying more than double for the same plan I am on 200gb a year for $50 a year will suddenly turn into $10 |

Comparing the old 20$/year for 80 GB and the $4.99/ month for 100 GB (59.88$/ year). it's a 0.25$/ GB to 0.60$/ GB change! More than doubled the price!!! That's just to much for the syncing option.

They expect this service to be used quite a bit more then docs did due to the increased amount of files are can upload to G Drive and a new desktop drive that will sync all the files |
