Lower fees for Google Drive starting Today - 100GB for $2/month

Google just announced on their blog the new prices for Google Drive's storage plans. The latest prices per month are:

• $2 USD for 100GB (previously $4.99)
• $10 USD for 1TB (previously $49.99)
• $100 for 10TB
• $200 for 20TB
• $300 for 30TB

$24 USD/year for 100GB or $120 USD/year for 1TB (1,024 GB) sound like solid deals, the best price deal currently available in the cloud storage market as noted in our OneDrive vs Google Drive vs Dropbox post.

The announcement post also states:

"You can sign up for one of these new Google Drive storage plans at www.google.com/settings/storage. If you already pay for storage, you’ll automatically move to a better plan at no additional cost."

"Like before, storage continues to work across Drive, Gmail and Google+ Photos. And, of course, the 15GB plan remains free."

What uses your Google Drive storage:

• Google Drive files except anything you create with Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
• Attachments sent and received in Gmail as well as your email messages
• Google+ Photos bigger than 2048x2048 pixels; lower resolution photos don't count for storage use
