Google will restrict free usage of a very popular service.

The company will phase out unlimited storage on Google Photos, it announced on November  11, 2020. The service, launched in 2015, allows users to easily upload, back up, and sort through the thousands of images we fill our smartphones with.

Any images users upload beyond June 1, 2021, will count towards the 15 GB limit imposed on Google accounts that already includes files from other services such as Gmail and Google Drive.

After hitting that limit, Google Photos users will have to pay for extra space through the company’s Google One cloud service, which starts at $1.99 a month for 100 GB of storage.
