Google Photos' free unlimited storage service ends today
Google photos has ended its free unlimited storage service on Tuesday (today), which means any photo including compressed storage saver pictures counts toward Google Drive storage limit unless it comes from a Pixel phone.

The tech giant announced May 29 that it will be ending its free unlimited storage from June 1.
From now on, if a user need more space, he/she will have to pay for Google One plans that start at $2 per month for 100GB of Drive space and scale to 2TB for $10 monthly.
Any photos that have been uploaded before June 1st won't count toward the cap, so user must have to get in one last backup if you can.
Moreover, Google has also made it easier to delete unwanted photos through a tool that finds blurry snapshots, screenshots and other items you can usually remove.
The globally used tech giant explained the move last November as a necessary step to "keep pace" with the demand for storage.
It didn't expect 80 percent of Photos users to hit the cap for another three years, although it's more of an issue for people whose free Drive space was already loaded with other content.
Meanwhile, an Amazon Prime subscription provides free unlimited photo storage including 5GB of video data, while a Microsoft 365 membership offers 1TB of OneDrive space per person.
