I got a panicked message from a client the other day that her Gmail account was warning her that she was out of space and would soon stop receiving email.

If you’ve ever had this happen, or have been watching the storage space freak-out-o-meter creeping towards 100%, you have some really simple options.

Data storage options for Gmail users:

  • delete data (emails/files/photos)
  • move data
  • pay for storage (it’s only US $20 per *year* for 100 GB #worthit)

Data storage options for Google Workspace users:

  • delete data (emails/files/photos)
  • move data
  • change your plan (note switching from “starter” to “standard” doubles the cost)

In the video below, I show you where to click to find out what Google App is the culprit that’s taking up so much storage, as well as how to filter/search in case you want to go the deleting data route.
