    I got an email to notify me of the new very cheap storage plans for Google Drive. Presently I'm paying $4.99 for 100GB (with an extra 30GB as a bonus) so this is a pleasent surprise. I'd even almost consider 1TB in the future since its so cheap but not until my upload speed increases some what.

    $1.99 per month: 100GB (previously $4.99)
    $9.99 per month: 1TB (previously $49.99)
    $99.99 per month: 10TB+

    In case you don’t know, Google uses your Drive storage for your Gmail and Google+ Photos. This may be very appealing to anyone using the new excellent Auto Backup Photos app with Google+ on Android that also backs up local folders with its most recent update. The desktop version detects all new camera images (like Picasa) and uploads them to the same place.

    These new prices are great but like yourself I need a better upload. 1Mb just isn't cutting it for the 75GB I already have...

    0.21Mb? Oh God... I'm hoping to get Fibre soon and then hopefully uploading will be a whole lot easier.

    I feel for you... Internet is need for virtually everything now, I couldn't imagine it being that slow. Surely mobile broadband or wireless would be faster than what you're getting?
