I don't like subscriptions and I generally think about registering. Not only that: almost every month, I wonder if I take this opportunity to unsubscribe because even if I have no faces in themselves, the sum of all is a considerable amount. So, after taking advantage of a promotion I was released and recently I focused on Google One That I have in my Google Pixel of work, but also houses my main Google account of a lifetime.
Each free google account has 15 GB of storage for everything, a figure that is ridiculous if you decide to use the cloud service to record photos and videos or backup copies, but also houses Gmail, Drive or Google Office Suite. Come on, what Normal is that you do not take out your free account.
100 free GB as my case (I was released by enjoying a quarterly offer, from 1.99 dollars / month to 0.49 dollars) to 15 GB is a challenge and many doubts because the Google account stores the personal data of a life, some of which are quite important for me. Let's see What's going on when you come back to free storageWhat do you lose what access is maintained.
Good: do not lose information
My main fear since I had more than 15 GB of storage was to lose information or stop having access. Fortunately, this did not happen when I went from 100 GB to 15 GB even if my storage exceeded this figure. The information is always available for access and download And according to my experience, it is better to access it and pass it as soon as possible.
Because if you have more than 15 bus busy, The Google account is full of limitations. Thus, it is no longer possible to download more files of any kind, it will not be possible either to send or receive emails or to create new files, for example documents in the Google suite. Likewise, automatic backup is stopped.
Of course, you don't have to fall asleep in laurels because beyond the discomfort of restrictions, the help of Google clearly shows it: if the account continues to exceed the free storage limits For two years, the right to Delete data. It's a good time, but it's better not to leave it.
To use: In my case, I did not apply, but if you have another more premium plan with additional functions such as Gemini Advanced, logically when you stop paying, you would lose access.
A limited Google account and a countdown
When you have an extremely limited Google account and a warning for eliminating information on time, I prefer to act as soon as possible. I was clear that I was not going to subscribe to another plan (which can be a good alternative if you find that suit you), so I took the opportunity to free up space in my account: to erase the photos that did not interest me and the big videos, optimize the quality of the storage, a thorough cleaning of the old mail and erases the “paper” of Gmail. After in -depth cleaning, I turned to local storage With important information.
That said, Two years are enough time to have time for everything: It is possible to change your mind at that time and to recover access and full features, but also to leave everything as is and to have information in the cloud without paying anything. And another option: use another cloud storage service for progressive migration. Of course, if your idea is to transmit everything to a single supplier, it will have to be paid because Google is one of the companies that offers the most free storage (Apple or Microsoft without going further only offers 5 GB). Another option is to draw several free accounts.
There is time to think because I insist: you always have Access and possibility of download for two years.
