Have you seen the dreaded message from “Storage for your food”? You are not the only one. When Gmail joins your limit, not only will you be able to receive important messages, but Google Drive and Google Photos will also be blocked, as these three services include the same free 15GB plan.
Before you pay the credit fee for your Google One subscription, try these simple and effective ways to get your entry fee back today.
- LOCATE AND REMOVE CORREOS “PESADOS”.
The fastest way to gain space is to eliminate the heaviest messages. There is no need to look for them one by one; use the hidden commands in the Gmail search bar:
- Larger:15MB command: Type this in your mailbox to find messages that take up more than 15 megabytes. Please attach videos, high resolution photos or very large PDF archives.
- Command before:2022/01/01: This filter will show you correlations from previous years that you probably don’t need.
Pro tip: Combine both commands (example: larger:10MB before:2023/01/01) for thorough cleaning of old and heavy archives.
- MASSIVE CLEANUP OF NEWSLETTERS AND SPAM
Promotions and newsletters are piling up by leaps and bounds. To find them in a block, search for the name of the reporter (for example, news desk or news service), select all reports and delete them.
Don’t forget the last step: Gmail won’t free up space until you clear the paper and spam folder. Check it manually so that the repository is immediately up to date.
- Download BEFORE BORRAR
If you have other files that are important but take up a lot of space, the best strategy is to download them to your computer or external hard drive. Once you hold the physical support, cast the cloud current. So you keep your information without sacrificing your valuable Google gigs.
- CHECK GOOGLE DRIVE AND GOOGLE PHOTOS
Remember that Gmail is only part of the ecosystem. Sometimes the problem is not the correlations, but the archives in the cloud:
- Google Drive: Go through the “Large Archives” section and delete duplicate videos or documents.
- Google Photos: From June 2021, all photos are limited by a limit. Delete screenshots, blurry photos or large videos that you don’t want to keep.
- KEEP YOUR BUZON ON A “DIET”
To prevent Gmail from running out again, follow these steps:
- Unsubscribe from correspondence that never ends.
- Check your spam folder once a week.
- Use space management tools to set up your Google Account.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
After a thorough cleaning, consider Google One plans. The basic plan offers 100 GB of storage for a low monthly cost, which is ideal for professional clients or users who manage very large volumes of archives.
