Google Photos will no longer have unlimited free storage from now on.
The novelty was announced in November 2020 to the sorrow of many users.
Thus, as determined by the service, effective June 1, storage exceeding 15 GB will have a value assigned.
Additionally, files stored in the service are not affected until the deadline. That is, only photos sent from June of this year will be validated.
This number is higher than what can be verified in other services: Apple’s iCloud, for example, only offers 5 GB for free.
However, for those who want to pay for more storage, the cost-effectiveness of Google Photos remains very interesting.
What are the characteristics of each plan in Google Images?
Just for comparison: iCloud offers 50GB for R $ 3.50 per month; 200 GB for 10.90 BRL; And 2 TB for 34.90 BRL.
Hence, it is worth noting that the service is connected to Google Drive, Gmail, and other company platforms.
Additionally, for those with a 2 TB plan or more, a free VPN for Android or extra storage is offered.
Finally, another great news is that most users don’t need to switch to subscription plans right away.
Thus, according to information from the same company, 80% of people using the service do not reach the 15 GB limit for at least 3 years.
On the other hand, it is possible to circumvent the need to pay for more space, by simultaneously taking advantage of free plans for various services.
So, for those who use OneDrive and Google One with iCloud, 35GB of free storage will be added.
