""All I did was receive emails, and now I'm dangerously close to not being able to receive them anymore," says McDade, highlighting the impact of Google’s storage policy change for Gmail users."
""It's like the boat is filling with water and I'm using a sippy cup to empty it out little by little," he said, expressing his frustration with managing storage issues through tedious email deletions."
"McDade is among the 1.5 billion Gmail users who are facing storage limitations, which has triggered discontent and calls for alternatives to Google services."
"The DeGoogling community on Reddit, with 56,000 members, reflects a significant dissatisfaction with Google's power and privacy practices, pushing users to seek non-Google platforms."
In June, Google began counting new photos and videos against the 15-gigabyte free storage limit for accounts, leaving many users like J.P. McDade concerned about their storage space. While some consider switching email providers, the thought of losing old contacts deters them. McDade, for instance, feels frustrated managing his inbox by deleting spam, likening it to a futile effort. As a result, a growing community on Reddit is actively searching for non-Google alternatives, motivated by dissatisfaction with Gmail's storage policy and privacy issues.
