Google Account: How to Upgrade your Google Account Storage

When you sign up for a Google account, you get 15GB of free cloud storage to save your data (videos, photos, documents, and so on) across all of Google’s platforms, including Gmail, Google Photos, and Google Drive, where you can store files from Google Docs, Forms, Slides, and Excel, among others. This 15GB of free storage space may appear large at first, but it is only a matter of time before you use it all. If you use Google’s tools frequently for work, you’re likely to run out of storage space quickly.

When your free Google cloud storage expires, you’ll usually receive a warning from Google requesting you to upgrade. If you’ve used up, or are about to use up, your free Google cloud storage, you can upgrade to Google One or buy more storage within Google Drive.

Buy Storage Via the Google Drive App

1. Open the Google Drive app on your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet.

2. If you don’t already have it, get the Google Drive app.

3. To access the menu, tap the hamburger icon in the upper left corner.

4. At the bottom, hit Settings or Buy Storage.

5. Select a favorite storage plan by scrolling down. Among the several plans are:

15GB: Free forever
100GB: $1.99/month ($19.99/year)
200GB: $2.99/month ($29.99/year)
2TB: $9.99/month ($99.99/year)
10TB: $99.99/month
20TB: $199.99/month
30TB: $299.99/month

6. To subscribe, tap Get Offer for your desired plan.

Buy Storage Via Google Account (Web)

1. From your browser, go to your Google Account.
2. Select Manage storage from the storage section of your home page, and then select a preferred storage plan.

3. If you don’t want to upgrade your storage, simply scroll down and tap Clean your account.

That is all there is to it. That’s how you can increase the storage capacity of your Google Account.
