How to re-claim 100GB Google Drive space
Recently I purchased a LG G6 phone. The first time I opened Google Drive it offered me a free 2-year 100GB Google Drive promotion. I already pay for the 1TB a year plan for my account. However, my wife could certainly use the free 100GB. I actually already pay $1.99 a month for 100GB for her, so with the free plan I could cancel the paid plan and save almost $48 over the course of 2 years.
Therefore, I promptly canceled out of the 100GB promotion for my account and added her Google account to my phone. Next I loaded Google Drive but the promotion was initially nowhere to be found. 🙁
Thankfully, after a bit of looking around in the menus I was finally able to redeem the 100GB for 2-year promo for my wife’s Google Account. 🙂
Here are the steps!
- Open the Google Drive app
- Go to Settings
- Scroll all the way down to “Product Tour”
- Swipe through all the Tour pages
- The offer should appear after the last page of the Tour!
My wife has been enjoying the free space and it is my hope that this guide helps you too 🙂
I had the same with LG G5. What I did was uninstall the update of Google Drive on my phone and reinstall it back again. Upon launching it there was a tutorial after which it offered the 100GB promo, which I had previously ignored.
Hi Martins,
Thank you for the great tip!
Have a GREAT weekend 🙂
