Google has changed the way we use storage in +Google Drive, +Gmail, and +Google+ Photos for a more seamless experience for people using its Google products.
The firm added that it wants to make life easier with more storage for one’s Google products as separate storage was complex and time consuming.
“Separate storage doesn’t make as much sense anymore. So instead of having 10 GB for Gmail and another 5 GB for Drive and Google+ Photos, you’ll now get 15 GB of unified storage for free to use as you like between Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos,” the firm announced.
Users will therefore need not worry about how much they’re storing and where with the introduction of combined storage. The firm also said that it will also be improving how one tracks how they are using storage data by simply hovering over the pie chart to see a breakdown how much storage space Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos are consuming. For those that still fell the need for more storage Google says its plans now start at $4.99/month for 100 GB. Google Apps users will also be getting shared storage soon.
