Google Photos will soon stop providing free storage options to its users. As of June 1, if your 15GB Google storage space is full and you have uploaded photos under the high-quality option, you will need to purchase a Google One subscription to save more photos or videos. All high-quality content will always be excluded from the storage rating.
You have approximately six days to use the free storage feature as all pre-downloads will not rely on account storage. If you have Google Pixel 5 or earlier versions, this new storage policy will not affect you. Pixel phone users still can get unlimited storage options.
