The good thing is that you can easily manage and increase your Google Storage without spending any money.

First, carefully inspect your Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos. Many times unnecessary emails, large attachments and duplicate files fill up the storage. Go to Gmail and type has:attachment larger:10M in the “Search bar”. This will give you emails with large attachments, which you can delete.

If 15GB of storage isn’t enough, create a new Google Account and upload larger files there. With this you can make maximum use of free storage. By adopting these easy methods, you can manage your Google Storage in a better way, that too without spending money.
