Google reopens unlimited photo backup service

Google used to offer unlimited storage to Google Photos users before June 1, 2021, excluding Pixel users.

Since the end of the unlimited backup service, Google offers several different Google One storage plans, with an option up to 2TB, priced at $9.99 a month or $99 for a year.

T-Mobile is offering unlimited photo storage to its customers, regardless of whether they run a Pixel phone or not. The new plan will offer 2TB of cloud storage for Gmail and Drive, as well as unlimited storage for photos and videos, for $15 per month.

T-Mobile customers can choose a 500GB plan for $5/month, a 2TB plan for $10/month, or 2TB plus unlimited Google Photos for $15 a month.

In many ways, the two lower tier plans are similar to Google’s basic options, except that the lowest tier comes with 500GB instead of the 100 or 200GB Google’s lower tier plans offer.

All three plans include the option to redeem extended trials for YouTube Premium, Stadia, and other Google services. Like Google’s 2TB plan, T-Mobile’s mid- and premium tiers come with Google’s VPN service, as well as the ability to share 2TB of storage with up to 5 other people.

The unlimited plan also allows users to store their photos and videos in their original resolution, rather than downgrading to save space.

Overall, T-Mobile’s options seem like a good deal for most customers. The Unlimited plan is a great option for customers who miss out or need unlimited old Google Photos.

For those who don’t use T-Mobile’s service, unlimited high-quality photo backup is still available when using Google Pixel products. In particular, Google maintains a lifetime unlimited original photo backup plan for Google Pixel 1 and Pixel Xl (2016) devices.
