six months ago, Google Announced its end date Unlimited storage From google photos. Now, time is at hand: 1 June. Starting Tuesday of next week, only 15 GB of space will be available free of charge for storing files distributed between Google Photos, Google Drive and Gmail. Who needs more gigs, he has to pay.
The company’s justification for adopting the measure is the fact that the demand for space is increasing.
High-quality content already on Google Photos will not be affected by the change. Soon, the files will not affect the new free limit of 15 GB. Material saved with the original quality will consume the space already available for the account.
Using only consumer Cell Google Pixel 5 or earlier models will continue to have free and unlimited storage.
Those who do not want to remove additional content will have to pay to have more space on Google One. Membership for service cost in Brazil, from R $ 6.99 per month or R $ 69.99 per year (for 100 GB of storage)
Manage Google Photo Storage
Google’s storage management tool already shows how long the available space is likely to last. The estimate takes into account the frequency of backups performed by the individual. The platform also helps the user find the content he or she wants to delete (such as blurry images, screenshots, or very large videos).
If you do not see an estimate of this time, it could be because: You have not saved many images, your location may be near the end of the range, or you have a special account (corporate, family, or any other group) ) Can be.
According to the company, more than 80% of customers should have free space to store three more years of memories.
