My Gmail Is Full, and Google’s Threatening to Stop My Email. How Do I Make Space?

My Gmail is full and Google's threatening to stop my email. How do I make space? Hi, everyone. Leo Notenboom here for askleo.com. Here's a question I hear from time to time. A not enough storage after 20 days, your Gmail will not work, message appears. What should I do? You're approaching the amount of space allocated to your Google account. If you're running a free account, that's 15 gigabytes. It's possible you just have a lot of email saved online. That's common, and I'll show you one of the things you can do about that. But there are actually a couple of other possibilities as well. The storage you're allotted in Gmail is actually shared by at least three separate Google services. Gmail, the one you, of course, are aware of, Google Drive, and Google Photos. So the storage that they all use together, combined, is limited to 15 gigabytes. I'll be using the free allotment here throughout for my example, since that's the most common situation people find themselves in. If you've purchased additional Google storage, you still have a limit. It's just more than 15 gigabytes. Near the bottom left of your gmail. Com email interface, you'll see information about how much space you're currently using. We'll go over here to my example Google account, and you can see down here at the bottom, it says 12.5 gigabytes of 15 gigabytes are being used. Okay, I'm approaching, if you will, the limit of my account. If you click on that line of information, you might very well be taken to a page trying to sell you more storage. That's not really what we want. Instead, what I'm going to have you do is visit one. Google. Com/storage. I'm going to type it in here. So Google One is the brand name they use for their storage product, for Google Drive or whatever online storage they want to provide.
