Does GTransfer replace Google One?

GTransfer replaces the need for Google One if your storage problem is mainly Drive files. It doesn't help with Google Photos storage, which still needs Google One or a different Photos strategy.

How much does the Google One alternative cost?

GTransfer Pro is £19 one-time. Google One (100 GB) is £1.59/month — £19/year, every year. GTransfer pays for itself in year one.

One-time payment · No subscription

The Google One Alternative That Doesn't Charge You Every Month

Google One adds storage — but it's a subscription you pay forever. GTransfer moves your Drive files to 40 GB of free storage elsewhere, for a one-time £19. Problem solved. No recurring charge.

Common questions

Is there a free Google One alternative?

Yes — Mega.nz and Drime both offer 20 GB free. GTransfer moves your Google Drive files there for a one-time payment, freeing up your Google quota permanently. The transfer tool itself has a free plan you can try before paying.

Does this replace Google One completely?

It replaces the need for Google One if your storage problem is mainly Drive files. Google Photos storage is separate — GTransfer moves Drive files, not Photos albums. If photos are your main culprit, switching to Storage saver quality in Google Photos is the free fix there.

What if I need more than 40 GB?

You can upgrade Mega or Drime to paid plans, which are significantly cheaper than Google One for the same storage. Or use a combination: move Drive archives off Google, and keep a small Google One plan just for Photos.

Is GTransfer safe?

GTransfer uses Google's official OAuth — the same screen you'd see for Google Calendar or Notion. Your password is never shared. Files flow directly between your accounts; nothing is stored on GTransfer's servers.
