"Every new Google email account comes with 15GB of free storage -- a solid offer at no cost. However, that space can fill up fast, especially since it also covers files in Google Drive and Google Photos. If your inbox is cluttered with unread newsletters and sneaky spam, there's a way to clean house without losing important messages. With the right approach, you can preserve what matters while giving yourself a fresh start."
"And, chances are, you'll only eliminate so much junk before those gigabytes start stacking up again. I should note that Google offers a way to pay for more storage by upgrading to a Google One account. The "Basic" plan costs $24 per year for 100GB. The free solution, however, lies in taking a few steps to back up your essential files and reset your data capacity."
Every Google email account includes 15GB of free storage shared across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos, which can fill quickly. Unread newsletters, spam, and accumulated files can exhaust that limit while important messages remain. Back up essential files and media locally or to an external drive using Google Takeout before migrating. Create a new Google account to serve as an archive and use POP3 forwarding from the original account to transfer messages. The paid Google One upgrade offers 100GB for $24 per year, but moving older emails to an archive account provides a free way to reset cloud storage capacity.
