Google One is a subscription service which gives you extra Cloud storage, as well as a few other perks such as a basic VPN. If you have a family, you can share the subscription benefits with them for no extra cost, which is quite nice.
The first tier of Google One gives you 100Gb of storage for £15.99 (GBP) a month, which isn’t too bad, but free is better, right?!
You can actually get it for free using a combination of Google Opinion Rewards and Google Play Weekly Prizes.
The Google Opinion Rewards app lets you earn rewards for sharing your opinions through short surveys, often based around shops you’ve visited.. be totally honest; if it catches you lying it’ll realise & reduce the number of surveys it gives you!
One of the more recent additions to Google Opinion Rewards are Receipt Tasks, which ask you to take a picture of a receipt from a particular store you visited; it certainly prefers certain stores over others.. I can bet it’ll ask for a Coop receipt, but it never wants one from my work cafeteria.

The other app where you can earn Play credit is via the Google Play app itself.. take a look in your Points and you’ll find a tab called Perks where you can tap to get a weekly prize; they say you could win up to 100 points, but I’ve never got more than about 6. You can cash in 100 points for £1.
