Like everyone I’m struggling to keep my data on Google drive below their limit. This is fine. I’ve been gradually deleting photos from my drive and transferring them to my own storage.
I managed to clear up about 2GB of space that away, but recently, a few weeks ago my consumed storage jumped up. I cannot figure though what is the file that tis taking away my data. It could be the I switched phone, but I don’t see any big sync folder/file that I should delete here.
Any idea what is happening?
(Note: I’ve stopped sharing my photos with Google drive)
Other stuff uses G-Drive storage too, like G-Mail, Android google backups and apps you give access to your storage.
Unfortunately, when I go to G-Drive website and click on storage, it just shows as “other” without telling me what it actually is (except G-Mail and Photos).
Maybe obvious, but have you emptied the “Bin”? I noticed deleted files still take space until you remove them from there.
Thanks, it isn’t this. The trash is empty
Is there some way for me to see the history of my storage? Spot any anomalies?
You could start by downloading your Google data raw, much easier to explore your own data if it’s all on the same drive.
