How to Buy Additional Storage For Gmail: Drive Storage/Sharing Guide

Google provides us with 15 GB of free space when we create our new Gmail account for the first time to use it across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. 

But 15 GB of storage in Google sometimes becomes less for us to store our data in Google Drive and sync photos backup in Google Photos.

Since the same storage of 15GB is used across all the other data store and share platforms of Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos, it becomes fulfilled.

This causes the fulfilment of Gmail’s email storage too. This causes problems in sending and receiving emails in our inboxes and seent boxes. 

To solve the problems of storage full and to avoid running out of storage full, we need to buy some extra storage in Gmail.

Buy More Space on Gmail:

As Google has a good feature at any time, we can change our storage plan by paying either a monthly or annual fee. 

Google has brought a new feature in its service called Google One. This service integrates and collectively merges all of Google’s platforms and services in one place. 

This one application manages and handles all other Google services like Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos. So, it is also called Google One Plan.

Google One has a subscription plan that doesn’t expire. This plan will renew automatically unless we change our subscription settings from Google One.

You can also buy spaces using many other payment schedules which can take a lot of time to complete the task. On the other hand, it may charge you local taxes with the prices listed.
