But again, going forward, everything counts for almost everyone (it’s only Pixel phone owners who get a pass). So if you hurry up today and upload, you should be good. However, everything you uploaded prior to June 1 is there to stay and won’t count against your storage cap. Also, they are renaming “High Quality” to “Storage Saver” to help make more sense of it all. When tomorrow hits, you no longer get to backup with “High Quality” for free. The “Original” quality or full resolution photos backup option hasn’t been free for a while and counted against your free 15GB of storage ( unless you own select Pixel phones). So before June 1, you had free unlimited backups “High Quality” photos to your Google Photos account, where Google was reducing quality from original to not take up so much storage space. With those included, well, this is where things get tricky. 15GB was a decent amount of storage without Photos included. This storage is used for lots of stuff, like the 25,000 emails you archived in Gmail over the past decade or two, your Google Drive account, and now Google Photos. Oh, you didn’t know they gave everyone a free 15GB of storage? They do. That means from June 1 forward, all of the photos and videos you upload to Google Photos will start to count against the free 15GB of storage space that Google gives everyone with a Google account.
In a somewhat surprising turn from everything was free forever, Google told the world that it would soon be time to pay for their excellent Photos product. I can’t imagine you didn’t know this already, but for those just catching up, here’s the deal – Google announced all of this in November 2020. Google Photos no longer lets you backup photos for free Yes, friends, Google Photos will no longer have unlimited storage starting tomorrow, June 1, for almost everyone not holding a Google Pixel phone. It feels like only a few days ago that we gave you the 1 month warning and now we’re at the final day.
