Google One gives access to VPN
Users with the 2TB plan or higher have access to Google One’s exclusive VPN, which Google says “will encrypt all of your online activity for an extra layer of protection wherever you’re connected.”
Android Back-Up Drive

Users can restore backed-up data to their new device by clicking on the Restore option during the Android setup process or by downloading the Google One app once the device is up and running and tapping on the Restore from Your Backup option under Settings.
