Google Storage Full? What to Do!

When your Google Storage hits its limit, it can be frustrating. You'll likely encounter issues like not being able to:

• Send or receive emails in Gmail.
• Upload new files to Google Drive.
• Back up photos and videos to Google Photos.
• Create new documents in Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

Here's a breakdown of solutions:

1. Check Your Usage: The first step is understanding where your storage is being used. Google provides a breakdown by service (Gmail, Drive, Photos). Go to your [https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Google%20Storage](Google Storage) dashboard to see this.

2. Clear Out Unnecessary Files: This is the most direct way to free up space.

   • Google Drive:

     • Delete large, old files you no longer need.
     • Empty your [https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Google%20Drive%20Trash](Google Drive Trash) (permanently deletes files).
     • Look for duplicate files and remove them.
     • Consider converting large files (like PDFs) to smaller, more efficient formats.

   • Gmail:

     • Delete large emails with attachments you no longer need. Search for emails with large attachments using the "has:attachment larger:10MB" (or a similar size) search operator.
     • Empty your [https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Gmail%20Spam%20Folder](Gmail Spam Folder) and Trash folders.
     • Unsubscribe from newsletters and promotional emails you don't read.

   • Google Photos:

     • If you've been backing up photos in "Original Quality," consider switching to "Storage Saver" (formerly "High Quality"). This compresses photos, allowing you to store more. Be aware that this is a permanent, account-wide change. You can use the [https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Google%20Photos%20Recovery%20Tool](Google Photos Recovery Tool) to recover storage.
     • Delete unwanted photos and videos. Remember to empty the Trash in Google Photos as well.

3. Consider a Google One Subscription: If cleaning up files isn't enough, upgrading your storage plan with [https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Google%20One](Google One) is a viable option. You get more storage and additional benefits, like Google Workspace premium features.

4. Manage Shared Files (Drive): If you're a collaborator on many files in Google Drive, large files owned by others may still impact your usage. Coordinate with the owners of these files to remove them or move them if no longer needed.

5. Download and Delete (Archive): You can download files to your computer and then delete them from Google Storage to create space while retaining access to your data.

Important Considerations:

• Deleting files is permanent. Ensure you have backups of important data before deleting anything.
• It can take some time for storage changes to reflect across all Google services.
• If you're part of a shared family Google One plan, the storage is shared among all members.
