Google Photos, the most popular photo and video storage app, will no longer offer unlimited free photo backup from June 2021. As per Google’s new storage policy, Google will start charging for the services from June 21.

The company announced that any new photos and videos that you upload will count toward the free 15GB of storage that comes with every Google Account.

Announcing the change in high-quality storage quality, Shimrit Ben-Yair, Vice President, Google Photos, said, “Starting June 1, 2021, any new photos and videos you upload will count toward the free 15GB of storage that comes with every Google Account or the additional storage you’ve purchased as a Google One member. Your Google Account storage is shared across Drive, Gmail and Photos. This change also allows us to keep pace with the growing demand for storage. And, as always, we uphold our commitment to not use information in Google Photos for advertising purposes. We know this is a big shift and may come as a surprise, so we wanted to let you know well in advance and give you resources to make this easier.”
