Anyone know why the strange tiers on Google One? There is a 2TB ($100/yr) and 10TB ($600/yr).

- Usually prices scale log, but here, there is a storage premium going from 2TB to 10TB.

- Does anyone else think 2TB is a bit low for a moderately savvy family plan? Why isnt there a middle tier like 5TB?

Probs they expect a 2TiB plan user to never use a significant amount of the 2TiB. Whereas the 10TiB plan user is more likely to use a higher percentage of allotted storage.

I think that's product guys trying to entice their largest group of customers to move to the next tier. Make it look like it's the best deal.

I agree. The price/GiB between looks like someone was throwing darts.

I wish there is a straightforward pay-as-you go option. However there is the mental downside that everything you store is costing money, whereas the package deals you feel free (until you hit the limit).
