What you need to knowGoogle has doubled AI Pro storage from 2TB to 5TB with no price hike.This storage increase is exclusive to AI Pro.If you\u2019re on a standard Google One plan, you\u2019re stuck with the same old limits.<\/p>\n

Google has finally given its AI Pro subscribers something to be excited about: more storage at no extra cost.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, AI tools are demanding more storage. Features in Gemini<\/a>, Docs, Photos, and Drive now create and manage bigger files, from AI-edited images to long documents and even videos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Google seems to recognize this trend. Shimrit Ben-Yair, Google\u2019s VP and general manager of Google Photos<\/a> and Google One, confirmed on X that the Google AI Pro plan now offers 5TB of cloud storage, up from 2TB. The price remains $20 per month.<\/p>\n

Sweet news for our Google AI Pro subscribers! \ud83d\ude80 We know your memories and projects need space to grow, so we\u2019re expanding Google AI Pro\u2019s storage offering from 2TB to 5TB \u2014 at no additional cost.

5TB covers everything<\/p>\n

You can use this extra space for Gmail, Google Drive<\/a>, and Google Photos backups. The update is rolling out worldwide, but it may take a few hours or a day to show up in your account dashboard or the Google One app.<\/p>\n

This upgrade gives you more storage than the entry-level AI plan, and you don\u2019t have to pay the steep $49.99 per month for the 10TB tier.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, Google hasn\u2019t changed its standard Google One plans<\/a>. If you\u2019re not paying for AI features, you won\u2019t get this upgrade. It\u2019s clear this move is meant to encourage more people to subscribe to AI plans.<\/p>\n

If you already have Google AI Pro, check your storage in a day or two. If you were undecided, this change makes the choice much easier. Honestly, it\u2019s rare for Google to offer 150% more space for the same price.<\/p>\n

Just be sure you really need the AI features like Gemini<\/a> Advanced that come with the plan. Otherwise, you\u2019re paying $20 per month mostly for storage, even though cheaper Google One options are available.<\/p>\n

Android Central’s Take<\/p>\n

I\u2019m honestly glad Google has finally improved its storage offering. To be clear, 5TB for $20 per month is a good deal, especially if you already use Gemini Advanced or rely heavily on Google Photos. But let\u2019s not celebrate too soon. Google only increased storage for an AI plan that costs extra. The standard Google One tiers haven\u2019t changed and still offer just 100GB for $2 per month, which isn\u2019t competitive in 2026.<\/p>\n
