Troubleshoot Google One trial issues

Need help starting your trial? Make sure the invitation hasn't expired and wasn't already redeemed. If it's still valid, contact your OEM/carrier support for more help.

If you have other issues, try the steps below.

You already have a Google One account

The Google One offer is only available to new Google One members, and you can't redeem the offer with a Google Account that is already associated with a Google One membership. To redeem the offer, switch to another eligible Google Account.

Your Google Account type isn't eligible

To redeem the offer, you must sign in to an eligible Google Account. A Google Workspace account that you have through your work isn't eligible. To redeem the offer, switch to another eligible Google Account.

The link is no longer valid

The offer has expired, but you can still sign up for a Google One membership here or through the Google One mobile app. There is no trial available once the promotion has ended.

Offer has already been used

Promotion codes are unique and are for one-time use only. You can still sign up for a Google One membership here or through the Google One mobile app. There is no trial available once the promotion has ended.

Error with payment

An eligible payment method must be registered with Google Pay to redeem the offer. For any payment issues, visit the Google Play help center.

Pay with Direct Carrier Billing

If you redeem the offer through the link you received, you won't have the option to pay with Direct Carrier Billing.

To pay with Direct Carrier Billing:

Complete the sign-up using the link you received on your mobile device.
Download the Google One app from the Play Store.
Open the Google One app Settings.
Change the Payment method to Direct Carrier Billing.

You’re part of a Google family group

Only the Google One plan manager in the family group may be eligible for some trial offers. If you’re a member of a family group that has Google One family sharing enabled, you won't be eligible to redeem some trials.

Your Google One membership is billed by a third party

Trial offers aren’t available to members who subscribe to a Google One membership through a third party. You may be eligible for an offer with another Google Account or if you cancel your current Google One membership with the third party.

Incompatible device or operating system

Some trial offers are only available on specific devices. Make sure that you use a genuine, eligible device that runs certified operating system software.

Stop your trial or membership

When your trial is almost over, you can choose to cancel your membership. If you don't want to be charged, cancel your membership before the last day of your trial.

If you end your membership, the following will happen:

You and any of your family members will lose access to extra member benefits.
You and any of your family members will lose access to your additional storage. Each person will keep their default 15 GB of storage at no charge.

Running out of storage & cancelled or expired plans

If you cancel your storage plan or when your storage plan expires, your storage limits will reset to the data levels available for each product at the end of your billing cycle. Everything in Google Drive, Google Photos, and Gmail will still be accessible, but you won't be able to create or add anything new over the storage limit. If you reach or exceed the storage limit:

Gmail: You can't send or receive messages. Messages sent to you are returned to the sender.
Google Drive:
- You can't sync or upload new files.
- Syncs stop between your computer's Google Drive folder and My Drive.
- You can’t create new files in:
  - Google Docs
  - Sheets
  - Slides
  - Drawings
  - Forms
  - Jamboard
- Until you reduce the amount of storage you use, no one can edit or copy your files.
Google Photos: You can't back up any photos or videos.

Tip: To avoid these restrictions, you can clean up Google storage space. You can also buy more Google storage.

Clean up storage space

Clear storage space

If you're using more than 15 GB of storage, all your files will stay safe, but you won't be able to store anything new.

You can clear space in Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos to make room for new items.
