Re: Google drive

Hello @Buddhadev,

 

When your Google Drive storage is full, you have the option to upgrade.

More information is here. If you need a pricelist from Google, click here.

 

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

 

Best regards,

You can upgrade but the packages but that is not pocket friendly

So,I suggest you to download those files and​ if there is any photos and videos you can cut down the resolution and then upload again or you can open a new Gmail account as a result you will get another 15gb or you can open your account to other app such as One Drive they also provide couple of GBs

Re: Google drive

Hi @Buddhadev

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:

  1. How Google Photos works with Google Drive
  2. Check your Drive storage
  3. Info about upload size
  4. Clear Google Drive space & increase storage
  5. Google photos setting

Hope this can help you

 

Happy Mapping
