It's great. I have the 100GB level, mostly for pictures being backed up automatically at full resolution.

It is a bummer though, that their tiers go from Free (10GB), 100GB, 200GB, then up to 2TB. That's a huge jump!

Why not have a 500GB, and a 1TB tier?

They could probably get more people to pay them for storage if they offered a 50GB tier at $0.99 like Apple does for iCloud.

The 10GB free tier up to 100GB is a large jump too, and $1.99 a month might be just a little over the threshold for those that don't really use that much data but want phone backups and some pictures, etc.

This is especially curious coming from the company that does Google Fi, charging for data by the GB used, and crediting back portions of GBs unused, and also capping the monthly charge.

The 200GB/$3/mo to 2TB/$10/mo jump doesn't seem so bad to me. That's a dramatically lower per GB price ($0.015 -> $0.005). But then above 2TB it goes back up ($0.01), but worse is if you use 3TB, it's still $100/mo (that's over 3 cents a GB!)

I use backblaze for most of my bulk data storage (0.005/GB/mo).

The nice part about the google storage is your Android phone can make automatic use of it. If you're just doing cloud storage from a computer or something, Backblaze can make sense.
