Google storage full: how to free up gigabytes without paying more

ZAP Notícias11 September 2026 at 14:50

The article offers a practical guide to free up storage space on Google's cloud without needing to pay for more storage. The main suggestion is to spend a few minutes doing a cleanup on Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos before investing in paid plans.

Instead of going through individual folders, the recommended method is to access the Google Drive storage area directly through the browser. In this section, files are automatically sorted in descending order by size, which makes it easy to quickly identify the files that take up the most space.

After identifying the largest files that are no longer needed, simply delete them to recover storage space. This approach allows for efficient cleanup without the need for additional tools or paid subscriptions.

The article indicates that this specific cleanup strategy is one recommended by Google itself for users who want to optimize their cloud space.
