Google Photos stopped offering free unlimited storage for high-quality photos on June 1, 2021. Photos uploaded after the said date will be counted towards the 15GB Drive cap. If the account was inactive or exceeds the 15GB limitation for two years, Google may delete the photos after notifying users. Users will either need to pay for a recurring fee or look for an alternative if they run out of space.

How to get free unlimited cloud storage for photos & videos?
Everyone use smartphone to take photo and video nowadays. And I believe not everyone backup those photos and videos to external storage daily. That’s not good because no extra backup of those previous memories. If your smartphone is gone or damaged, all those data are too. So here is the guide to get free unlimited cloud storage for photos & videos. In short, just use Google Photos on your Android or iOS devices. Desktop app is available for both Mac and PC too. Still don’t know? Watch below video guide to find out…
Always backup photos & videos from your mobile device
Yes, always backup all photos and videos from your mobile device. You can copy / move them to home PC or store them in cloud storage. Do remember to backup them because accident might happen which your mobile device is lost or stolen. All your precious memory in photos and videos will be gone as well. Therefore, always make a backup copy. Luckily, Google makes our life easier by giving us Google Photos application which has photo and video auto backup ability for free. Yup, you can choose unlimited cloud storage available at high quality or store up to 15GB original size for free. Personally, I recommend using unlimited cloud storage as it support up to 16 megapixels (MP) photo quality which is more than enough for most mobile devices out there. And the good news, Google Photos is available for both Android and iOS.
