Once Google gave me promotional Drive space. Now Google took it back. The issue is, that I cant afford a paid account and soon my acoount will be unusable. Its full of pfotos I uploaded to google maps. Wether I delete all the drive or I pay. Its not fair!!
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)
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
