      Congrats! You’ve just beaten the final boss and finished the main quest of Gmail. Sounds like a great time to switch to Tutanota.

      Edit. Oh i see. Is that 15gb the original storage for gmail and stuff? Are we that old that we’re filing that up? Oh man

        I remember when Gmail was advertised as unlimited email storage. Then they limited it. Then they sold more storage for it.

          I remember when the Google Pixel offered free unlimited high quality photo backup to excuse the fact it had no SD card.

          Then it offered free medium quality photo backup to excuse the fact it had no SD card.

          Then it offered nothing because it had squeezed serious competitors with SD cards out of the market.

            High quality uploads were free for all Google Photos users and tben they changed it to medium quality and now we get nothing.

            I used high quality uploads for a long time deleted the original files. Turns out those *high quality" uploads were not very high quality and realised that I have ruined years of my photos believing in this gimmick. Fxck Google.

            It still does, for models that were sold that way. My Pixel 4 still gets free uploads to Google Photos. Which I should really move to immich one of these days.

        No my Gmail isn’t even full, my wife got same email. Fucking scam to make us sign up for their extra storage.

        Google One is the combined storage of every service you use, even accidentally. Google Photos Gmail, Drive, it’s all in there.

        Emails take up some space, especially if they have embedded images or attachments.

        My Gmail had 17 or 19GB last time I checked… Gotta love when they would give you extra storage just for doing a ‘security check’.
