Starting today, any Google One subscriber has access to it.

Google’s 2TB plan costs just as much as Dropbox and Microsoft’s 1TB tiers. Google initially rolled out its VPN service in late 2020, but it was restricted to the 10-per-month 2TB plan. But it’s only Amazon who’s actually got a good deal for 1TB plans ($59.99 per year). Rivals including Amazon, Dropbox and Microsoft still have 1TB monthly plans in place, some people would point out. What seems to be missing from Google One is the 1TB tier, which may be enough cloud storage for some Google users. Google One will also come with family sharing features enabled by default, with up to five family members supported per Google One account. Google One will also get you extras including Google Play credits, and deals on select hotels - that one is really weird but ok.


The way it works is that you first need to provide and select the information you'd like it to keep an eye on, and then it does just that. The new service will notify you when it finds any of your personal info on the dark web. Online identity fraud due to information stolen like this is an increasing problem which, Google says, affects "millions of people" every year. This helps you scan the dark web for instances of your personal information, which may have been revealed through various online security breaches. Why only these countries? We can't tell you, unfortunately.Īnyway, the good news is you'll be able to use the VPN on Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac devices, and can share it with up to five others if they're on your Google One plan.Īdditionally, for US-based Google One users there's a new dark web report. The service works for Google One members in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the UK, and the US. Google's VPN service has only been available to those who have one of the higher Google One tiers up until this point, but that's changing.Īll Google One plans include the VPN going forward, although the rollout is ongoing and may take a few weeks to conclude.
