From June 1, 2021, Google is changing its storage policy for free accounts. The policy states that the unlimited cloud storage advantage of photos on Google Photos will come to an end. So, you will only have 15 GB of cloud storage, which will be distributed among Google Photos, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Slides, and even Google Docs. Once you exhaust this 15 GB free storage, you could either purchase Google One subscription plan starting at Rs 1300/year for 100 GB extra storage. The subscription goes up to Rs 6,500 per year with 2 TB cloud storage.

What If You Don’t Want Paid Subscriptions?

If you don’t wanna spend anything on extra storage, you may delete some of your photos or videos to create space for other Google services.

This will not cost you a penny and you will also be able to preserve your unforgettable moments. In this article, we will learn how to download your data from Photos to free up some space.
