Google One is the official app (developed by Google) that gives you an easy way to manage cloud storage. It is a straightforward file-manager that handles all your Google cloud space, but it is aimed at users who have a “premium” Google Drive plan. If you are one of the paid subscribers, handling files in the cloud becomes much simpler. Essentially, it unifies Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos inside one place on your phone. Obviously, you need an active paid storage plan to use Google One features; otherwise the app remains inaccessible. A big plus is that you can share your storage with up to five friends or family members, and if anything goes wrong you can chat or call Google support directly from the app.
