Google, late last year announced that it will stop providing free unlimited storage to users. The company has introduced the platform in 2015 and is finally going to stop providing unlimited storage to users from 1 June.
Starting 1 June, 2021, any new photos and videos that will be uploaded on Google Photos will count toward the free 15 GB of storage that comes with every Google Account or the additional storage that user has purchased as a Google One member. The free 15GB or the additional amount of data purchased is shared between Google Drive, Gmail and Photos.
The company is popular for providing various additional services along with just cloud storage
The move to stop providing unlimited storage will help the company manage the growing demand of data storage. According to the company, more than 4 trillion photos are stored in Google Photos, and every week 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded. Google claims that this change also allows them to keep pace with the growing demand for storage.
Google Photos: How to quickly clean up storage space?
Google Photos has added a new storage management tool to help quickly clean up the storage space. With this tool, you can delete blurry photos, screenshots, large videos, and other photos that you might not want to have.
You will be able to access this tool by visiting Account Settings in Google Photos > Back up and Sync settings > Manage Storage.
Google’s tool will let you review large files, emails which are taking up space, and also tell exactly how space you will save when you delete these photos, videos and emails.
