Free storage was an old offer, expired more than two years ago
With the end of the free storage promotions, one of the most common question in Connect is: How can I use my space in Google drive?
Of course, with a quick search you will find all the answer, but for an easy reference I will try to summarize in here the most common questions.
The biggest mistake that I did, when I got the free storage, was to save a copy of all my photos in Google Drive. Loading photos in Drive is using your storage space
With a correct setting, you will be able to store:
- Photos, in Google Photos, at High Quality (16MP), for free (unlimited storage)
- Videos, in Google Photos, at High Definitions (1080P), for free (unlimited storage)
This is the storage I’m actually using:
Most of the space is used for documents that I have in Drive. As you can see from the details, I am not using space for photos
And I have more than 7450 files (photos and videos) stored
So, don’t worry about space for photos in Google Maps. Make the correct setting, and you will have no problem in storage due to Google Maps or Youtube videos
For more information, here are the links to the help pages:

Hope this can help you
Happy Mapping
