As per a DNA report, the Google storage has to be cleaned. The cleaning of the Google storage space will automatically allow for more space for Google Photos. Now, how can that be done? It has a simple way out. It can be done by clearing up Gmail and deleting the thousands of unread mails.

In order to do so, one has to open Gmail and type "has:attachment larger:10M" in the search bar. This will bring up all emails with attachments of over 10MB in size. In case, one wishes to delete larger files, one will have to replace 10 with a higher number. After Gmail displays the search results, one has to select all the emails that one does not need and then one needs to tap on the delete button. After this process is done, one has to go to the trash can and select the empty trash button.

For avoiding the 'Google storage full' issue in future, one needs to unsubscribe all the unnecessary emails and then delete all the old ones. In case a person does not want to receive emails from a website that he or she signed up for then one has to use the unsubscribe link to stop getting these emails.

There are also a few alternatives that can be suggested for backup of the photos after Google end the free storage option. Now as per a BGR India report, be it Microsoft’s OneDrive or DropBox, none of these options are as integrated as Google Photos. Hence, it will be the best possible option for the Android users to opt for Google One. In case of the iPhone users, they have the option of going for the Apple One platform.

The Google One service includes the 15GB of free space by default as its base and free to use plan. So, if one registers for a new account, one will be able continue to use Gmail, Google Drive, Docs and Photos as long one is within the free quota of 15 GB storage.

In case, iPhone or Apple product users wish to opt for Apple One plan, they can get a lot of services from this platform at a low cost. In India, one can get only two Apple One plans at the moment, given that Apple Fitness+ is yet to launch in India. Hence, the base plan, called Individual, costs Rs 197 per month. As part of this plan, one will get access to 50GB of iCloud storage for storing photos and backups. The plan also includes subscription to Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade.
