  • Google One adds new cloud storage option

    Google One adds new cloud storage option

    Google One is Google’s service offering cloud storage by subscription. The storage is shared between Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. Those with a Google account are gifted 15GB to start. But if you need additional cloud storage, you used to have three options.

    100GB of data costs $1.99 per month, or you could save 16% by paying $19.99 for one year. 200GB of cloud storage is priced at $2.99 monthly or $29.99 for one year, a 16% savings. The latter plan also includes receiving back 3% in-store credit on Google Store purchases. The 2TB option costs $9.99 monthly or $99.99 for the year, saving 17%. It also includes 10% back in store credit on Google Store purchases.

    10TB of cloud storage will run you $49.99 monthly. 20TB and 30TB will cost you $99.99 and $149.99 a month, respectively. Now that Google is no longer providing free storage for photos, depending on how prolific a photographer you are, the free 15GB of storage might not be enough, likewise, the 100GB, 200GB, and 2TB options might not give you enough storage.

    But if you need even more storage, the jump between 2TB and the next step up is a big one. The difference in price between 2TB and 10TB of Google One cloud storage is $40 a month. So the company decided to add a new 5TB option that is priced at $24.99 per month or $249.99 for the year (saving you 17%). The difference between 2TB and 5TB is only $15 per month and the 5TB option still includes the 10% in-store credit you will receive after a purchase made in the Google Store.

    The 5TB subscription also includes access to Google experts, the option to share some of the storage with your family, extra member benefits, and VPN for your Android handset. You can visit the Google One website, or install the Google one apps (iOS, Android).

  • Chat-to-checkout app lets shoppers interact real time

    Chat-to-checkout app lets shoppers interact real time

    Tech startup OneDash has unveiled a chat-to-checkout service which eliminates the need to quit a chat session to complete a purchase.

    The OneDash app also enables interactive video so shoppers can connect with retailers in real-time and interact personally.

    Oleksandr Matviishyn, CTO of OneDash, says one of the motivations behind creating the chat-to-checkout app was to address cart abandonment, a major problem for online retailers.

    “With the global growth of video content and the promotion of short videos by platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, we realized that the hidden costs are enormous. We were driven by the idea of making video more affordable and providing the ability for every business to create, distribute, and monetize their video content, while at the same time, improving the production speed of interactive video content,” he said.

    “During the implementation phase, we came up with a few additional ideas like advertising, Messenger commerce, and live streaming to make the platform even more robust.”

    Initially only available for Apple devices, OneDash will be released on the Android Play store in July.

    An early adopter of the app is Vanessa Martinelli Fine Jewellery, whose CEO Vanessa Martinelli, said she was looking for a new way to talk about her creative world and showcase her jewelry.

    “I tell my story through a video and the spectators can interact at the same moment,” she said. “In just one click they receive all the information on a specific featured product and they can purchase it right at that moment, without breaking the momentum.”
