Online backup companies like Carbonite have taken heat in the past for their unlimited plans not being completely unlimited, and in 2015 Microsoft switched its unlimited storage plan in… Source link

The company will phase out unlimited storage on Google Photos, it announced Wednesday.

Storage of images, along with files in Google’s document editing services, will instead be capped at a combined total of… Source link

Come June 1, 2021, Google will change its storage policies for free accounts — and not for the better. Basically, if you’re on a free account and a semi-regular Google Photos user, get ready to pay up next year and subscribe to Google One. Currently, every free Google Account comes with 15 GB of online storage for all your Gmail, Drive and Photos needs. Email and the files you store in Drive already counted against those 15 GB, but come June 1, all Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings,… Source link

After five years of offering unlimited free photo backups at “high quality,” Google Photos will start charging for storage once more than 15 gigs on the account have been used. The change will happen on June 1st, 2021, and it comes with other Google Drive policy changes like counting Google Workspace documents and spreadsheets against the same cap. Google is also introducing a new policy of deleting data from inactive accounts that haven’t been logged in to for at least two years.
