Google’s strategic shift towards subscription-based services like Google One has been evident in recent years, particularly with the phasing out of unlimited storage for Google Drive photos. This move has nudged users towards opting for subscription plans that offer additional storage and a range of exclusive benefits.

Notably, YouTube Premium recently crossed the 100 million subscriber mark after nearly a decade, while YouTube TV has amassed over 8 million subscribers, highlighting the growing appetite for premium content and services. Looking ahead, Sundar Pichai outlined Google’s vision for 2024, emphasizing continued growth and innovation across its suite of services, including Google One.
