I don't know if it is, though. I have Google's +20gb plan from an earlier purchase, and it gives me 25gb in Drive too, for $5 per year.

Is this still the case? Mine only shows 5GB.

edit: My Drive updated! You are currently using 17 MB (0%) of your 87040 MB. Should have bought more...

It's still there, yeah. I do notice that we're using two different links, though. The 'upgrade' link sent me here: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/PurchaseStorage?hl=en_US which looks like this: http://cl.ly/2S07190C2B1c0z1K1z2G while yours (from the other thread here) seems to be going to https://www.google.com/settings/storage/?hl=en and looks like this: http://cl.ly/1P1I1s2K3f2H3v0e321g

(pseudo-edit while typing) I think I found it: http://cl.ly/0d3r3F1343132g131y36 (notice down at the bottom) though all the 'learn more' links just take me to the essentially-useless help home-page, rather than to a place where I could actually learn more.

What do you get if you go to my first link? Might there be time to grandfather in a better plan?

Actual edit: woah - it just started redirecting me to the more expensive option (hasn't been for the past 1/2 hour). wtf.

Those old planes will no longer be offered - you'll have to switch to the per month payments when the old subscription.

That's not correct. You can stay on the old plan for as long as you don't try to upgrade and your Google Wallet has a valid, up-to-date credit card:
