Release and Extend your Google Cloud Storage

 The usage of Google storage has increased a lot in the last few years, and now it is one the most preferred way to store data instead of hard drives. Similar to hard drives, you can store your documents, images, videos, passwords and many more things in Google storage. More importantly, you can keep your data secure by setting up strong passwords and two-factor authentication. However, the only problem you’ll face is insufficient space because, on a single account, Google only offers 15 GB of free space.

For most of the users, 15GB of space can be enough, but for whoever has a huge number of photos, videos and other important data, 15GB storage can’t be enough. You can check how much Google storage you have used, and how much is still left. But if any day, you wish to have more Google storage, you can make a payment of $2 and get an extra 100GB of storage. However, spending money on storage won’t work, you must know which files in Google storage are unnecessary and that must be wiped out. 

Clear Unnecessary Files from Google Drive Storage

Google Drive, Google Photos, Gmail and many more apps are associated with Google, and they all share the same storage space. You can save every type of file in Google Drive and removing items from it won’t take much time.

  • Log in to your Google account.
  • Open Google Drive to manage files.
  • Tap the Storage option over the left tab.
  • A list of all backup files will appear in the Storage tab.
  • Read file names or open them individually to delete unnecessary files.
  • Press the Gear icon on the top right side.
  • Choose the Settings option.
  • Press Manage Apps.
  • If any app you’re not using and if its hidden data is not important for you, then tap the Options button and press Delete hidden app data.

So many apps that are associated with Google Drive usually save hidden files, so it is important to remove those hidden files by following some simple steps.

Once you delete files from Google Drive, open the Trash folder and press Empty trash to wipe out all the deleted data permanently.

Free Up the Google Photos Storage

Google Photos is a platform to save all of your device photos and videos. Between High and Original, you can choose on which resolution you wish to take the backup of your photos. Once you enable the backup, it continues backing up the files while running in the background. Saving photos and videos in Google Photos can take so much space, so it is necessary to pick unnecessary photos and videos to release space.

  • Log in to your Google account.
  • Open Google Photos.
  • View all photos and tap and hold on to the images to reveal the delete option.
  • You can select multiple photos at once and delete them at once.
  • Once you delete the selected photos, open the Trash folder.
  • Press the Empty Trash option to release Google storage space.

Wipeout Gmail Junk

If you have used your Gmail account on several shopping websites, jobs websites and other portals, then you must receive plenty of unnecessary emails daily. These emails can surely be a great mess, and to avoid these types of emails, you must unsubscribe them or delete them. 

  • Open Gmail, and check all unnecessary emails individually.
  • Press Unsubscribe and follow the onscreen prompts.
  • Open Promotion and Social folder.
  • View all the emails and delete unnecessary emails.
  • Open the Trash folder, and press Empty Trash Now to wipe out all the emails at once.

Conclusion 

Google cloud service is the best thing to save and keep important files protected. Android users don’t have to download Google Photos, Gmail and Google Drive because there are some pre-installed apps in every Android. Users don’t have to log in to their Gmail, Google Photos or Google Drive account if they have already configured their account in the device.
