News Synopsis

Bharti Airtel has partnered with Google to offer free 100GB of Google One cloud storage to eligible users. This limited-time benefit is part of Airtel’s effort to enhance its postpaid and broadband offerings with added digital value.

Who Is Eligible for the Free Google One Storage Offer?

The offer is exclusively available to Airtel postpaid mobile users and broadband (Wi-Fi) customers across India. As part of the promotion, users will receive six months of complimentary access to the 100GB Google One cloud storage plan at no additional cost.

This benefit can be activated through the Airtel Thanks app, where eligible users will find an option to redeem the cloud storage plan.

What Does the 100GB Google One Plan Include?

Once activated, the 100GB storage quota will be usable across:

  • Google Drive for files and documents

  • Google Photos for media backups

  • Gmail for email storage

The cloud plan also supports Android and iOS platforms, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of users. Additionally, the storage can be shared with up to five family members or teammates, making it ideal for collaborative use.

How to Activate the Offer via Airtel Thanks App

Activating the offer is a quick and simple process:

  1. Open the Airtel Thanks app on your smartphone.

  2. Navigate to the ‘Discover’ or ‘More’ section.

  3. Look for the Google One 100GB cloud storage offer.

  4. Tap on it and follow the steps to activate your 6-month subscription.

Once activated, the Google One membership will be linked to your Google account, granting immediate access to the extra cloud storage.

What Happens After 6 Months?

The free subscription is valid for 6 months from the date of activation. After this period:

  • Users will be charged ₹125/month if they choose to continue.

  • If users opt out, access to the additional 100GB will be revoked, but files won't be deleted immediately.

  • Google sends multiple alerts and notifications before removing access, giving users enough time to transfer or download their data.

This subscription typically costs ₹130 per month or ₹1,300 annually, so users redeeming the offer will save around ₹780 over six months.

Extra Benefits of the Offer

Even though every Google user already receives 15GB of free storage, it is often insufficient due to growing file sizes, especially with media and document backups. This offer provides users with an extended 100GB cushion, giving more room to manage files, photos, and emails without worrying about running out of space.

Shared access also means multiple users in a household can enjoy a single cloud storage plan, making it cost-effective and convenient.

What If I Already Have Google One?

The good news is that existing Google One users are also eligible for this offer. Airtel customers with an active Google One plan can still redeem the 6-month free benefit, effectively extending their current subscription without incurring extra charges during the free period.

Availability and How to Check

This cloud storage promotion is live and available across India. Interested users can:

  • Open the Airtel Thanks app

  • Check under offers or benefits section

  • Claim the 100GB cloud storage plan in just a few clicks

Whether you’re an existing or new Google One user, the offer can be claimed by all eligible Airtel postpaid or broadband subscribers.

Final Thoughts

With increasing digital dependence, especially for storing media, documents, and backups, cloud storage is becoming essential. Airtel’s partnership with Google offers customers a valuable incentive—more storage space without additional cost. It not only adds to Airtel’s postpaid and broadband plans' appeal but also strengthens user retention by offering meaningful digital benefits.
