Video Description

☀️ Sometimes 15GB just isn’t enough. Sometimes, though, it still is. ☀️ Freeing up Gmail space If your Gmail is running out of storage, check your usage across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos, as they share your storage allotment. Free space by deleting or downloading files and emails, then make sure to empty the trash. Of course, you can throw money at the problem by upgrading to a Google One storage plan.
