How to keep your old plan
Google storage plans have changed, but you can stay on your current plan as long as you:
- Keep your account active
- Keep payment information in Google Wallet accurate and up-to-date
- Don’t make adjustments to your current plan
If your account lapses, your credit card is declined, or you choose to change your storage plan in any way (upgrade or downgrade), you’ll be switched to the new Google storage plan.
You’ll access your account information in a new place, even if you choose to keep your current plan. The new place to access and manage your account information is www.google.com/settings/storage.
What happens when you switch to a new plan
When you change your current storage plan or if your payment information lapses, you’ll move onto the new system for storage plans. Once you choose a new plan, you'll no longer be able to switch back to the old one.
