Clean Up Your Google Drive and Gmail to Save Space and Money
Here are some tips on how to clean up your Google Drive and Gmail to save space and money:
Check your storage limits. Go to Google One and sign in to your account. Under "Storage," you can see how much storage you have used and how much you have left. If you're close to or over your limit, you'll need to free up some space.
Delete old files. Go to Google Drive and click the Trash icon in the sidebar. This will show you all of the files that you've deleted from your Drive. You can permanently delete any files that you don't need anymore.
Compress large files. If you have any large files in your Drive, you can compress them to save space. To do this, right-click on the file and select "Compress." This will create a new file with a .zip extension.
Move files to Google Photos. If you have a lot of photos and videos in your Drive, you can move them to Google Photos. Google Photos doesn't count towards your Google Drive storage limit.
Delete old emails. Go to Gmail and click the More icon (three dots) in the top right corner. Select "Settings" and then click the "See all settings" link. Under "Mail," click the "Storage" tab. This will show you all of the emails that you've received in the past 30 days. You can delete any emails that you don't need anymore.
Set up automatic archiving. You can set up Gmail to automatically archive old emails after a certain period of time. To do this, go to Gmail and click the More icon (three dots) in the top right corner. Select "Settings" and then click the "See all settings" link. Under "Mail," click the "Labels" tab. Click the "Create a new label" button and enter a name for your new label. Then, select the emails that you want to archive and click the "Move to" button. Choose your new label from the list. Click the "Archive" button.
Use a third-party tool. There are a number of third-party tools that can help you clean up your Google Drive and Gmail. These tools can help you find and delete large files, old emails, and duplicate files.
