Google is adding new migration tools to Gemini and expanding storage on its AI Pro plan as it tries to attract users from rival chatbot platforms. The company said users can now import saved preferences and full chat archives from services including ChatGPT and Claude into Gemini. Days later, Google also raised Google AI Pro cloud storage from 2TB to 5TB at the same monthly price, according to a Google support post and Google executive Shimrit Ben-Yair.
Google announced on March 26 that Gemini users can now bring over personal context from other AI apps through a new import option in settings. The company said users receive a suggested prompt in Gemini, paste it into their current AI chatbot, then copy the generated summary back into Gemini. Google said this lets Gemini retain details such as hobbies, family references, and hometown information.
Google also introduced chat history imports. According to Gemini Help, users can export conversations from ChatGPT or Claude, then upload the archive to Gemini as a ".zip" file. Google’s support page says the file size limit is 5GB.
The company said imported chats become searchable inside Gemini, which lets users continue earlier conversations on Google’s platform. Google described the process as a way to "pick up right where you left off." The feature is available for consumer accounts, while some account types remain excluded.
Google followed the import rollout with a storage increase for Google AI Pro subscribers. Google's support materials now list "5 TB Storage" as one of the plan’s benefits. A public post from Shimrit Ben-Yair also said Google AI Pro storage was raised from 2TB to 5TB "at no additional cost."
The plan still includes Gemini access and Google ecosystem features tied to Gmail, Drive, Docs, and other products. The storage applies across Google’s main cloud services, giving the offer a broader role than an AI subscription alone.
Some Google help pages were still showing 2TB during the rollout, which suggests the update is being reflected across support materials in stages. Separate support results now show the revised 5TB figure, while posts discussing the launch also noted that some accounts may take time to display the higher storage total.
The new features lower the effort required for users to leave a competing chatbot. Instead of starting fresh, users can now move context and prior conversations into Gemini with fewer manual steps. That places Gemini in more direct competition with ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot for paying users who already have long chat histories elsewhere.
Google’s privacy documentation also states that imported memory and chats are saved in Gemini Apps Activity. The company says that imported data is handled under Gemini’s activity settings and may be used to improve services, including training generative AI models, unless users manage or delete that activity.
Moreover, the migration tools and storage increase show Google focusing on switching costs as well as price-value. By combining easier imports with more bundled cloud storage, the company is giving users a clearer reason to test Gemini without leaving behind their past chatbot use.
