Google last week ended its popular free unlimited photo cloud storage option, the company is now limiting free storage to fifteen gigabytes.
The silicon valley company has offered users its “Google One service” instead, this move was first announced in November last year. Since the beginning of the month, any new photos and videos you upload; using google photos will be added to the free 15GB of storage.
Google intends to start this Google One Service at $2 a month in the United States for 100GB of storage with other bonuses like Google store discounts.
Google still helps to manage your photos, as any photo uploaded before June 1 will be considered free. You should still be able to access the free photo cloud option if your photos are not up to 15GB of storage.
