Hi Local Guides Connect,
I have been contributing to GMaps & from last week I found it has eaten my most of the space. Could I get a solution to this
As I used GDrive a lot to share my portfolio to my clients & for other works plus everytime I open up my mail account it gives a notification of clearing up space.
Please help.

Hi @Jayantsid
one of the most common question in Connect is: How can I use my space in Google drive?
With the correct settings, the use of storage by Google Maps is zero.
And also for all your photos and videos, of course. Then, if for your business you need to add different types of file, of course this is another story. Do you want to know how to manage your data?
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:
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
