先ほどGoogle Storageからメールが届いた。内容はこうだ。
Google storage update: More space for your photos and email
Hi,
We wanted to let you know about some exciting changes to your Google paid storage plan. While storage costs have dropped naturally in the past few years, we’ve also been working hard to improve our infrastructure to reduce your costs even further. On Tuesday, November 10th, we increased the size of each of our tiers to make storage even more affordable and accessible. For the same $20.00 per year, you’ll now get 80 GB, 8 times as much storage as before. Your current plan will be automatically upgraded and your new quota will automatically show up in your account in the next 24 hours.
We hope you’ll like the extra space, but if it’s more than you need you can always change your storage plan or renewal preferences for next year in your Google account settings: www.google.com/accounts/purchasestorage. Feel free to visit our Help Center for more information.
Thanks,
The Google storage team
現在私は、10G追加プラン（$20/year）を利用しているんだけど、今確認したらメールにある通り80Gに増えてた。
本日からの新規プランは以下の通り。
- 20G（$5.00/y)
- 80G($20.00/y)
- 200G($50.00/y)
- 400G($100.00/y)
- 1T($256.00/y)
- 2T($512.00/y)
- 4T($1,024.00/y)
- 8T($2,048.00/y)
- 16T($4,096.00/y)
昨日までのプランは以下
- 10G($20.00/y)
- 40G($75.00/y)
- 150G($250.00/y)
- 400G($500.00/y)
さすがに10Gでpicasaを利用するのは少々不便だったので、近々40Gプランに乗り換えしようかなと思っていたタイミングでの増量は、本気で嬉しい。
円高の今、みなさんもこれを機に、有料プランに移行してみては？
