However, for the last few years, photos have been treated differently: under its “high quality” plan, Google stored an unlimited number of photos for free as long as you allow them to be compressed to 16 megapixels. Google provides each of its accounts with 15GB of free storage. (Note: We’ve only included services that have features specifically geared toward photos, not more general storage services such as Dropbox.) Google Photos Google Photos Below are some of the main photo storage services available to you, along with their basic fees, so you can figure out whether you want to switch. But first, it’s a good idea to check out your alternatives. If you’re a Google Photos user who finds all of this a bit irritating, you may be thinking of leaving. (Unless you own a Pixel 5 or earlier device, in which case you still have no limits on “high quality” photos.) Once you hit that 15GB wall, you will have to buy into the Google One service to increase your storage capacity. Last November, Google - which had offered unlimited storage for what it called “high quality” ( read: compressed) photos - announced that, as of June 1st, “unlimited” was being changed to “up to 15GB on your Google account.” (Oh, and “high quality” is being renamed “storage saver.”) In other words, while photo and video storage once did not count against your total of 15 free gigs on a Google account, it does now - along with your Gmail, Google Drive files, and other stored data.
