HTC, teaming up with Google to woo new smartphone consumers, has
announced that it will be offering up to 25GB additional, or up to 100GB
additional free Google Drive space for select HTC smartphones.
The
Taiwanese giant on Tuesday announced the news on Twitter and also
revealed names of some HTC models included in the offer. The HTC
smartphones will be offered the additional cloud storage space for a
limited period, which is two years.
Google's
support page
for 'Google Drive offer for HTC Android devices' lists the new HTC One
(M8), HTC Desire 816, HTC Desire 610, and HTC One Max smartphones, which
will be receiving up to 100GB additional free Drive storage. In
addition to the recently launched high-end smartphones, the page details
that up to 25GB additional free Drive storage will be available for
select 2013 HTC handsets including HTC One, HTC Butterfly S, HTC One
Mini, and HTC Desire 601.
The page further mentions, "When upgrade
to HTC Sense 5+ and Sense 6 becomes available on certain 2013 HTC
models, +25GB for two years. [..] The offer must be redeemed before
January 1, 2016. For most devices, you'll have your storage for 2 years,
starting on the date you redeem the offer."
Google notes that
consumers will be able to redeem one offer one time per device. However,
the post notes, "You may redeem one +100GB offer and one +25GB offer on
two eligible devices using the same Google account. You may not redeem
the offer of the same type on more than one account within a 12 month
period."
The support page clearly notes that at the end of the two
year period, "All of your files will remain in Drive and you can
access, download, or share them whenever you want. You won't be able to
add additional files if over quota unless you buy more storage."
Last
year, the Taiwanese giant in a similar manner announced
free Google Drive storage offering up to 25GB to 50GB free space for
select HTC smartphones.
HTC recently launched its most affordable smartphone, the Desire 510 in HTC's Desire
line-up to support 4G LTE.
