Here's How You Can Earn Free 1TB of Google Drive Storage
BENGALURU: Cloud storage is one of the most important aspects of an Smartphone, a lot of them come with limited storage option nowadays. Having 1TB storage in your device is a lot and you can get that for no cost by participating in the Local Guides program by Google Maps, according to techradar.com.
Getting 1TB of Google Drive storage for two years for free is in fact a great deal. However, you can get 1TB of free Drive storage for yourself if you also happen to be a particularly avid reviewer on Google Maps. In order to get the free storage you have to acquire 200 or more points that can be obtained by writing reviews as well as uploading photos of places, adding new places, fixing wrong information and answering questions from Google Maps users in your area.
While all this sounds like a lot of work which is true, it’s something that should come naturally to you if you are the sort of person who leaves a review wherever you go. However, don’t think you can just sign up to become a local guide and then spam out short, low-quality reviews to get your free Google Drive storage.
Since Google does screen out low-content and inappropriate submissions which in other words, your free TB of storage has to be earned through writing thoughtful content. However, on the Google Maps blog, Google reveals how the points system translates into rewards.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Level 1 (0 - 4 points): Enter exclusive contests (think new Google devices!) in selected countries.
2. Level 2 (5 - 49 points): Get early access to new Google products and features.
3. Level 3 (50 - 199 points): Show up in the Google Maps app with your official Local Guides badge.
4. Level 4 (200 - 499 points): Receive a free 1 TB upgrade of your Drive storage, allowing you to keep all the stories, photos, and videos from your travels in one safe place.
5. Level 5 (500+ points): The very top Local Guides will become eligible to apply to attend our inaugural summit in 2016, where you'll be able to meet other top Guides from around the world, explore the Google campus, and get the latest info about Google Maps. Look out for details early next year.
