Google or Apple storage

[primeoflife]

My google account is now 96% full (no idea how it's going up when I've cleared loads according their click here to clear 🙄).

I think I'm going to have to buy for photo storage as I don't have time at the moment to go through my pictures. Which is best do you think?

I've got an iPhone and pay extra for Google storage, because I can delete pics on my phone and Google stores them. I also have extra apple storage but once you've deleted the pics off your phone with that one, they're not stored in the cloud. If it's your only extra storage, they're gone forever.

I can also download Google onto whatever device I'm using.

Also, if you have Gmail, emails count towards storage space if you're using the free storage.

I have over 30 Gmail accounts and use about 15 of them regularly - I have an account for Amazon, one for eBay, one for general things I but, one for banking, one for emails for friends, one for work colleagues, one for complaints/local council, etc, one for synchronising bookmarks across devices that is also used for photos, etc plus others to do with my hobbies - if one account gets hacked they don't get access to everything. The point is that the account that backs up photos from my phone is not one that I use for sending or recieving any emails. Log in to your photos backup email account via a browser and check that your archived items doesn't have things in it that you really don't need. Videos also take up a huge amount of space. I think your problem is likely just did to bag housekeeping - get rid of old emails also.

🙄"dig to bag" = "due to bad"

@larkstar I did wonder about making a new account! That might be worth doing and shifting some photos across

@IrmaGord that's bonkers isn't it to pay for extra storage and it isn't really that with Apple! I definitely won't pay for that.
