2TB of storage for $12 a month? Plus the multi-device management options? Sign me up.

Google One has 9.99/ month for 2TB Option. Which also comes with a VPN.

If Price is the differentiator, I think google provides the best value, but also provide additional services with their storage plans.

Entirely different product though. Apple is providing a MDM solution for SMEs in addition to the storage.

The value of a VPN that doesn't allow you access to a corporate network is... dubious to a company.

Google One only works for gmail.com accounts

Allowing an advertising company to scan all of my traffic is extremely unappealing

Apples and oranges.

Google One is a consumer product for sharing holiday pics with your family mate. The closest offer in the same target market from Apple is iCloud+, with same services for same price! Or as part of Apple One which is slightly pricier but includes a an array of additional consumer entertainment services.

Apple Business Essentials is a set of business services with guaranteed SLA’s.

Google drive business also offers infinite storage

Will it let me use icloud like dropbox? Would be good if those groups they show that can be added also provision an icloud synced shared folder in a predictable location. I love drawing on ipad, but there’s always a bit of friction getting stuff on and off. This would make working with ipad much smoother.

What are the costs for the bandwidth?

consumer backup/storage services typically don't charge bandwidth.
