You can click to clean up things taking up storage but seeing what Google 1 suggests. They let you know before deleting stuff in folders that it will be permanently gone so to save you from deleting what you want to keep . Can see unsupported videos in your storage. > > **Cons**: I have experienced any problems at this time with Google 1. I don't have any negative views of this app. > > I am glad to have something that breaks down my storage into groups like trash, spam, large videos and files. I can easily choose which clean up service I want to do. Easy for anyone to understand and use. ----- ### "Clean up space will wipe your data" — 1.0/5 > **Andrew** | *26 August 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a good offering, but implemented very badly. Could be especially useful for people with lesser abilities and time to make alternative arrangements. > > **Cons**: Specifically, the way "clean up space" feature is implemented. We store data locally, so we can access our favourite pics and photos any time, without being connected. By implementing it the way they did google developers just stripped us of this ability. What is done very badly (read, unprofessionally): 1/ when you click on it, there's no warning what's about to happen, e.g. all your data will be wiped from your device 2/ there's no 'stop' and 'undo' 3/ the worst part, google support told me sorry there's no way to get it back - again, unprofessional, because it's not true. 4/ I found a way to get my data back, but ONE FILE AT A TIME (no bulk restore). I wish I could charge google for 3 months worth of restoring work\! > > Well, based on the above detail, I cancelled my google one subscription. Instead I implemented my own good old file backup process, which never failed me on other devices. I urge everyone to never trust this function and never click on that "clean up space" button. When you loose your data, don't tell me I didn't warn you\! 😊 ----- ### "Growing our online storage of educational materials." — 5.0/5 > **Blerta** | *15 March 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to work across all the devices smoothly is a game changer as I can always have my lesson plans and student files in line so that they are available whenever I am in a classroom. > > **Cons**: Customer support is also very annoying to call regarding specific account problems and there is no advanced tagging of files to control large folders. > > This is something that I as a Language Instructor use to get a regular storage and share files with my students and colleagues easily. It offers a solid base to our education management, but the upper levels of storage can be seen as a considerable cost to a small team. ----- ### "Solid value for maximizing a free google account" — 5.0/5 > **Dave** | *27 September 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google one provides the extra storage space I need and a low price > > **Cons**: I'm not a fan of Googles tendency to remove services that folks begin to count on, hopefully Google One does not get removed > > Google One provides the extra storage space I need across multiple google accounts ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/356039/google-one?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/356039/google-one) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
