I was among the Local Guides who received the 1TB Google drive. I have been notified that the promotion will end in a few days and this will affect all the google related services including my E-Mails if i don't upgrade. I had not planned to be paying for my drive storage, therefore am deleting most of the files i had stored till the space is below 15GB am really disjointed.

SolutionHi @WaweruM
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:
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 10000 files (photos and videos) stored (the screenshot is old)
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
