Defective UI for photo access on iOS. If you start down the path of selecting photos instead of allow all, but then decide to press cancel and go back, the UI fails to let you choose again and let you pick the allow-all option. Why did such a basic UI design fail get past testing into release? How trustworthy is the security of the rest of GoogleOne overall if GoogleOne is being coded by beginners and released without testing??

I signed up today for Google One to use the VPN. The option is not there in GoogleOne . I talked to google one support, which was very nice. However, the IOS version of the google one VPN is not working yet on the iPhone. They assured me it would be ready in the coming weeks. So, I tried to cancel. But I have to wait two or three days for the purchase to clear first. Sigh!!

And it keeps disappearing google used to be my every day all day go to and now it’s just a huge disappointment and it makes me depressed because I’ve lost so much personal information private information I’ve lost like a lifetime of memories to this crap app it’s supposed to be for the every day user is supposed to be easy and they have just gone to far there’s no real person behind anywhere to help you in which case your account is compromised again and again and again it’s all a bunch of blah blah blah

I’ve already got my iPhone syncing with my Google account for contacts and calendar. And I’m already using the Google Photos app to backup & sync my photos. So I have no idea what would happen if I also turned on backup for these items in the Google One app. Would it just make another backup wasting unnecessary storage? Or would it do nothing since I’m already syncing my Google account? GoogleOne needs to explain this!

I did try support chat to clarify, but the rep didn’t seem very knowledgeable, he just said it does a backup, but didn’t say how or if it is smart if you already are using Google photos or are already syncing your Google contacts and calendar (which makes me think it’s redundant for me).

In other respects (aside from backups), GoogleOne seems like it could be very useful for managing my Google storage space.

I have been verified or at least should have and it appears (maybe family members?) have been using my email(s) and that could be the issue with my Google One and Google accounts are not allowing my administrator capabilities to verify.
I created all that I built and shared/collaborated. Any ideas?
Otherwise, the bundle concept if it stays secure and double checks security and Authenticator rights stay with the right people who did the work and own their property(s).
I look forward to continuing in developing, collaborating, learning, and enjoying all Google Companies services and platform!

The best features One offers, in my opinion, are the VPN, the extra photo editing features in Google Photos and of course my 2 TB of storage… However, when using my iPhone or Mac using iOS, the VPN & Editing Add-ons will not work.

The storage itself spans across my Gmail, Photos, Calendar and other apps/programs that utilize cloud storage seamlessly and effortlessly. Another positive is, on the rare occasions I need support for Gmail or any Google family of programs/features, the preferred treatment by Google Support is definitely lovely.

Lastly, for me, the perks don’t manifest into savings per se. The discounts on hotels are on par with those I received already via booking apps and loyalty programs. Also the retail discounts are negligible at best for how often I have a need for Google retail products.

So, while I am not against it, on iPhone/iPad/Mac, Google One is nothing to write home about.

The current app does not support dark mode.

If also needs to have more options for back up. Right now, it only allows to back up calendar, contacts, and photos. I know Apple doesn’t allow other cloud services to back up iPhone’s whole system storage, but that needs to change. Maybe it should start with google.

In addition, GoogleOne right now does not support Workplace accounts to use this service. I wonder why not? It’s not like workplace accounts don’t pay for the same service if not more expensively.

I think google one is a great idea and it is great but 1 main issue for me:when I delete files (for me google photos) the storage is the same it doesn’t go down I’m on a free acc so not much space so other than that I think it’s great that’s it

GoogleOne is nice but needs more options like being able to delete duplicates photos in google photos app.

I am extremely happy with google one, the support team and the perks are off the chain. I would encourage everyone to give google one and all things google at that. Get googled today!

by KingdickdaddyO

Google one has been cloud storage and account support for over 2 years now, they have never not been able to resolve what ever issue may arise in a pleasant and timely manner.

Thanks Google One Team!

There should be a feature to find duplicates on Google Photos because no one wants duplicates same thing with the rest duplicate files are not necessary unless you’re making a copy just in case something bad happens like file corruption. There should be a duplicate manager.

In ancient Mesopotamia, where Hammurabi ruled with an iron fist, demanding that all debts and crimes be returned in exactly the same fashion, there may, as it seems to have been, less of an idea of who did what to who, except, when you factor in the passage of time, now and then, indexed with the updating of the worlds technology and connectivity. Although, sometimes the ball bounces funny, ya know?

So far since I’ve downloaded GoogleOne I was able to retrieve majority of my storage back which is very helpful for me! Before getting GoogleOne I was going to purchase more storage space but now that’s not necessary since Google 1 helped me retrieve half of my storage space! Thank you Google 1 forInternally cleaning out my phone! I highly recommend GoogleOne to everyone! You won’t regret it!

Installed this and ran the backup. Initial try showed an error. Second attempt seemed to work OK. Afterwards, noticed in messages that there were no more names and user pictures. Checked Google contacts and a bunch had been deleted. Restored them all but not sure I would trust this again.

VPN for iOS, please.
