The extra TB of storage space was ample motivation to propel me forward with map contributions.
Would Google be so kind to bring this back for local guides that have reached a category 5 or better?
This extra TB of space allows me to save contributions (now videos and photos) made and it feels like a real reward for contributions.
Thanks a bunch!

I fully agree and think that the "drive perk" was (and could be) the most suitable and useful reward for LG's. Unfortunately it's not us who decide so let's swallow the bullet for now.

Hi @SegelSack,
Since most of your photos are in Google Drive, you could consider uploading the pictures to Google Photos and ensuring they are at the high-quality resolution to ensure unlimited storage. Another option of course is to purchase Google Drive space. There are also many inexpensive options in place at this time that you could review at this time.

Hello there,
Open the link mention below and click on high quality option. I'm after that it won't eat your space for your contribution.

@jaejizzle The Google Drive promotion ended completely in March 2017. Users that received that perk only received it for 2 years (if they received the original 1TB promotion) or for 1 year (if they received the 100GB promotion). Most users are now expiring off from those time-limited promotions. Local Guides are not being offered any additional storage space at this time.
The only perk currently available, as previously mentioned, is the 3 months of the New York Times digital edition for free.
