![]() ![]() Given that you’re reading TechCrunch, though, chances are you’re in the 20% that will run out of space much faster (or you’re already on a Google One plan). ![]() Google argues that 80% of its users will have at least three years to reach those 15 GB. Come June of 2021, any new photo or video uploaded in high quality, which currently wouldn’t count against your allocation, will count against those free 15 GB.Īs people take more photos every year, that free allotment won’t last very long. That’s a big deal because today, Google Photos lets you store unlimited images (and unlimited video, if it’s in HD) for free as long as they are under 16MP in resolution or you opt to have Google degrade the quality. Those tend to be small files, but what’s maybe most important here, virtually all of your Photos uploads will now count against those 15 GB as well. Email and the files you store in Drive already counted against those 15 GB, but come June 1, all Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms or Jamboard files will count against the free storage as well. Basically, if you’re on a free account and a semi-regular Google Photos user, get ready to pay up next year and subscribe to Google One.Ĭurrently, every free Google account comes with 15 GB of online storage for all your Gmail, Drive and Photos needs. Come June 1, 2021, Google will change its storage policies for free accounts - and not for the better. ![]()
