How to know when you will fill your free space in Google Photos
Table of contents:
Google Photos will no longer offer free unlimited storage. This change will not take effect until June 1, 2021, and all those images or videos that have already been saved will not count in the free storage plan limited to 15 GB. But from that date the backup copies would be included. Do I have to delete photos or videos? Is it better to buy more storage? Google has launched a tool to check when you will fill your free space.
The new Google Photos tool allows us to simulate how much free memory we would have if we had the limited 15 GB plan En In other words, as if we were already in 2021. Based on the frequency of our security cries and the current storage, it can give us an approximate time until those 15 GB of our account are filled. In this way, we can delete images or even choose to purchase a Google One plan, which offers from 100 GB for 2 euros per month.
To see when you will fill your free space in Google Photos, just go to this page. Automatically calculates the time of free storage until we reach the limit of 15 GB(or the one we have hired). For example, 6 months, 12 months, 3 months… It also shows how much storage our photos and videos take up in Google Photos, and how much storage we have in Google Drive or Gmail.Remember that these two Google applications also consume storage space of your account. So freeing up memory in these two apps will also free up more space in Google Photos.
What if I run out of storage in Google Photos?
Upon reaching the maximum of 15 GB, Google Photos won't let you make a backup or upload new images or videos to the platform. The only way to continue saving our memories is to delete content. For this, the company will release a new tool in 2021 that will help us quickly free up space. Another option is to buy storage through Google One. For example, 100 GB for €3 per month or up to 10 TB for €50 per month.
The last option is to use multiple accounts to always have 15 GB of free storage, but it is more cumbersome, since if we want to make backup copies we will have to switch between accounts.
