Hi @СергейГ
As noted in our Help Center (and in the email you received notifying you about the benefit upon reaching Level 4 if you receive benefit emails), the benefit must be redeemed within 30 days of being issued and is valid for one year. If the code is not available to you when you visit Local Guides Home it is past those 30 days and we are unable to troubleshoot or award a new Drive storage code.
Thanks,
Ara

Iam very sad about the solution that the code ist only 30 days valid. I got the mail, but i had no chance to read it within the 30days! And there is no possibility to get the code again!
It seems that I have to delete all my comments as the 100gb was the reason for me to do it!

Anybody got 100gb drive storage after 1 month ?. Is it useful contacting google help?

Totally disappointed
Unfortunately I couldn't redeem my 100gb drive storage, because I didn't notice the 30 days deadline. I just noticed it today, but already 30 days over 7 days before. Thinking to stop contribution to google, why should we waste our valuable time?

I already reached Level 4 but never redeemed by benefit; do I still get it?

This is stupid. I made it to level 4 and never got a drive code. Google has terrible customer service because I have sent like 20 emails with no response.

For all those waiting for the 100Go code, please, follow https://maps.google.com/localguides/home and click the 100Go gift button (for one year ...).
Then check https://www.google.com/settings/storage
If the button isn't there, the 30 days optin are probably gone.
Regards.
