Every Google account comes with an integrated Gmail and Google Drive feature but limited to each user. The Google Drive free version comes with 15GB of storage space which is shared between Google Drive, Gmail Attachments, and Photos. So if you are receiving messages like “You’re almost out of Google Photos storage” or “You’re almost out of Gmail storage”, it’s time to free up storage space from Gmail Account.
Gmail Attachments is what holds most of the storage space. We had got so used to the free space, that we never bothered to delete even if they had attachments. That’s what is coming back to us. There are two ways out, either you pay for extra storage space, or you delete all unnecessary emails with attachments.
