And if you've purchased a Chromebook, you are often eligible for upgrades, such as the three year 1 TB upgrade for a Pixel purchase. Even with those large amounts of cloud storage space, power users can quickly run into trouble when their allocated storage is used up. What do you do? You delete files Although that is the obvious solution, how do you know what to delete? What's taking up the most space? Are there duplicate files that can be deleted?
SEE: Need to free up disk space? You can also see how much storage you have left by going to your Google Drive page and looking at the Storage statistic showing at the bottom of the left-hand column Google has also created a page that estimates, based on your current usage, how long it will be before you need to increase your storage.

After three months of being over quota, Gmail displays the message, "You can't send or receive emails because you're out of storage space. At this point, you're able to access all messages in your account, but you can't send or receive new emails. To resume normal service, reduce the amount of data in your account to below the storage quota.
That's because using email this way stores the messages locally on your computer , rather than exclusively on Google servers. While the account is over quota, anyone who sends an email to your Gmail address will receive an error message that says something like, "The email account you are trying to reach has exceeded its quota. The sender's email service will usually keep trying to deliver the message every few hours for a specified amount of time.
If during that time, you reduce the amount of storage you're consuming so that it's again within Google quota limits, the message will eventually be delivered. If not, however, the mail server will give up and bounce the email. The sender will receive the message, "The message could not be delivered because the account you are trying to reach has exceeded its storage quota.
If your Google Drive is over the storage limit for two years, Google may delete your content, including your photos, Gmail messages, and files in Google Drive. Google will notify you multiple times if deleting your content is a possibility, so you'll have plenty of warning.
Similarly, if your Gmail, Google Drive, or Photos accounts are inactive for two years, Google may delete your content. If you're concerned about an inactive account, visit the Inactive Account Manager to designate a trusted contact and manage your settings. If you only have a few megabytes of storage left, you can do one of two things: acquire more space or reduce the amount of data in your account.
To increase your storage space, you can purchase up to 30 TB more from Google to share between Gmail and Google Drive. An easy way to reduce your storage is to use Google's free Storage Manager on the web or built into the Google One app. This tool easily guides you through deleting emails that have been moved to the Trash but haven't been permanently deleted, deleting spam emails, permanently deleting trashed files, removing large attachments and files, and removing files Google can't open.
With the Storage Manager, you don't have to hunt down large files to delete or try to figure out where email attachments are. Select a category, choose files to delete, and free up space. If you've deleted files and attachments to free up space, be sure to empty the Trash in Google Drive. Open Google Drive. In the left panel, toward the bottom, select Trash. This is especially true since Google Photos stopped offering unlimited free storage earlier this year.
It now counts every photo and video you upload to the service towards your 15GB limit, which is shared across Gmail, Google Drive and Photos. Go to the Google account storage page and log into your account.
