About Google One

Google One Basic ($1.99/mo) gives you 100 GB shared across Gmail, Drive and Google Photos. Higher tiers add VPN (in supported regions), dark-web monitoring and family sharing.

Refunds & billing

Google refunds the most recent annual payment within 14 days of charge in most countries. Monthly plans aren't refunded — access continues until the end of the billing period.

Common problems & troubleshooting

•Gmail says 'Account out of storage' even after cancelling — you have more than 15 GB stored.
•Cancel button missing on iPhone — you subscribed via Apple, cancel in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
•Family member still charged — they have their own Google One plan, not yours.
