On November 12, it was reported that Google recently updated the storage space policy of its Google photo album. The official said that from June 1 next year, the new photos and video files backed up with high quality will occupy the free storage space of users. The free storage space of each account is 15GB, and will be charged after exceeding.

However, the pictures and videos stored by users before June 1 next year will not occupy 15GB of free space, and the Pixel 5, the "real son", and the Pixel models launched earlier will not be affected by this policy. The official said that this policy update is to "take into account the future development of products".

Google Photo Album was officially launched in 2015. In the face of cloud storage services that charge everywhere, Google Photo Album has become a big conscience application with its free unlimited space+original size backup features, but now the road to complete free has come to an end. Some analysts believe that this is Google's move to promote its Google One cloud storage service. At present, Google One charges $1.99 per month, with a capacity of 100GB.

Of course, for light users who only back up some photos, 15GB of free space may be enough.
