I've Subscribed to Google One for Years, but Wish It Had These 6 Features

Summary
For the past two years, the writer has been a Google One subscriber and appreciates the current benefits, but there is still room for improvement.
They suggest implementing multi-user storage management, which would enable the storage manager to set individual storage limits for family members.
A Google One storage tracking dashboard is needed to monitor usage and determine who consumes the most data, but it should maintain privacy by not showing the actual stored information.
PlayPass access would also be appreciated, as it would allow subscribers to download apps and games from the Play Store without ads or in-app payments.
A YouTube Premium Lite plan would be a suitable addition, giving subscribers ad-free access to YouTube.
Ad-free access to YouTube Music streaming without the need for a separate subscription would also be a great addition.
Photo printing credits or discounts for Google Photos would make the subscription more appealing to those who print photos often, and VPN access could improve security and rival Apple One’s Private Relay.
Finally, the writer would appreciate a free VPN service, even with limitations, to make Google One subscriptions more comparable to Apple One despite Google’s VPN service only being available on newer Pixel phones.
