Unlimited Google Photos storage is back on T-Mobile for $15 per month

T-Mobile is rolling out a new Google One subscription option to its customers that revives Google's unlimited photo storage backup service... for a price, of course. For $15 per month, it includes 2TB of cloud storage, all the benefits of a Google One subscription, and unlimited native resolution photo and video backup to Google Photos.

When Google halted its gravy train of free photo storage in 2021, a tired world sighed and looked for new storage options. Sure, the included 15GB of free storage will be enough for many people, but for those of us who take a lot of photos and prefer the "set it and forget it" nature of unlimited Google Photos backup, paid Google Photos It may be easier to use than Photos. Will have to pony up for membership sooner or later.

A Google One subscription starts at $100 per month for 2GB of cloud storage and goes up to $10 per month for 2TB (plus a few other features, like a VPN and 10 percent credit back on Google Store purchases). This new tier — open only to T-Mobile customers — is the most invaluable yet, but it's the only one to include unlimited Google Photos backup among its benefits.

For many people, 2TB will probably be more than enough photo storage on its own, but you can share that 2TB cloud storage allocation with up to five other people. However, the Google Photos benefit only applies to the T-Mobile Account Manager -- not everyone on your plan. The new storage plan will be available on Tuesday, April 26.
