Google Photos app users won’t get free unlimited backups starting June 1, 2021. The company currently offers a total of 15GB free storage for Gmail, Drive, Docs and Photos.

As more people might soon be buying cloud storage, Google One has received a significant price cut in India for the higher storage plans. Read on to know more.
“For members that need more space, we’re cutting the price of our 10 TB, 20 TB, and 30 TB plans by 50%. If you’re already on a qualifying plan, you’ll start seeing savings automatically,” Google said.
