Google has expanded the value of its Google One Premium subscription in the UK by including access to premium Gemini AI features in its standard 2TB plan, while keeping the monthly price at ÂŁ7.99. The update turns what was primarily a cloud storage subscription into a broader package that combines storage, artificial intelligence and productivity tools for personal and professional use.
The change means existing subscribers receive Google’s latest AI capabilities without upgrading to a separate plan. It also gives new customers a more complete set of services, with cloud storage, AI assistance and creative tools bundled into a single subscription.
Google One now includes Gemini 3 Pro
The biggest addition is access to Gemini 3 Pro, Google’s premium artificial intelligence model designed for more advanced reasoning, writing and research tasks. Subscribers receive higher AI usage limits and can use Gemini across several Google products without paying an additional monthly fee.
Rather than functioning as a standalone chatbot, Gemini is woven into Google’s ecosystem. This allows users to access AI features naturally while working inside familiar apps instead of switching between different services.
AI tools are built into everyday apps
Within Gmail, Gemini can help draft messages, summarise lengthy conversations and rewrite emails in different styles. In Google Docs, it assists with outlining documents, improving text and organising information more efficiently.
Chrome users are also beginning to receive Gemini-powered features that can explain webpages, compare information and answer questions while browsing. These tools are gradually expanding as Google integrates AI more deeply across its products.
NotebookLM and creative features receive upgrades
Google has also expanded NotebookLM benefits for Premium subscribers. The research tool now offers additional notebooks, larger Audio Overview limits and stronger document analysis, making it more useful for handling extensive notes, reports and study material.
The subscription additionally includes access to Flow, Google’s AI filmmaking platform, together with 200 monthly AI credits that can be used across Flow and Whisk for creating short videos, visual concepts and storytelling projects. While these tools are aimed more at experimentation than professional production, they provide extra value for creators exploring generative AI.
More than cloud storage
The 2TB storage allowance continues to be shared across Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos, making it suitable for families, businesses and individuals with large photo or document libraries. Premium subscribers also retain benefits such as enhanced Google Meet features and up to 10% Google Store credit on eligible hardware purchases.
By combining storage, collaboration tools and AI into one subscription, Google is positioning Google One as a broader digital productivity service rather than simply an online backup plan.
How the update changes the subscription’s value
The inclusion of premium AI changes the overall economics of the subscription. People who were already paying mainly for cloud storage now gain access to advanced writing, planning and research tools without taking on another recurring payment. For many households, that reduces the need to subscribe separately to AI services for everyday tasks.
Heavy users producing large volumes of AI-generated media or organisations with specialised enterprise requirements may still benefit from Google’s higher-tier AI plans. However, the updated Premium package now covers the features that many individuals use most frequently during daily work and study.
Availability in the UK
Current Google One Premium subscribers do not need to change their subscription. Google is enabling the new AI capabilities automatically as the rollout reaches supported accounts and services.
New customers can subscribe through Google One to receive the complete package, including 2TB of storage, Gemini AI features, NotebookLM enhancements, creative AI tools and existing Premium benefits for a single monthly fee of ÂŁ7.99.
