How do I increase storage on Google Drive?

To increase storage on Google Drive, you have a few options:

  1. Upgrade Your Google Account:

    • Google offers various storage plans for Google Drive, and you can upgrade your account to get more space. To do this:
      • Go to the Google One website (one.google.com).
      • Sign in with your Google Account.
      • Choose a storage plan that suits your needs.
      • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade.
  2. Purchase Additional Storage:

    • If you need more storage beyond what is available in the standard Google One plans, you can purchase additional storage separately. Visit the Google One website and select "Storage" to explore additional storage options.
  3. Delete or Move Files:

    • If you're running out of space but don't want to upgrade your storage plan, consider deleting unnecessary files or moving them to another location. This could include old or large files that you no longer need in your Google Drive.
  4. Empty Trash:

    • Deleted files are moved to the trash and still count towards your storage quota until you permanently delete them. Make sure to empty your trash by going to the "Trash" section in Google Drive and selecting "Empty Trash."

Remember that Google provides 15 GB of free storage across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. If you need more than this, you'll have to consider one of the options mentioned above.

Keep in mind that the steps and options might change over time as Google updates its services, so it's a good idea to check the official Google support pages for the most up-to-date information.
