skippybangkok Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Bought last year 20GB for $5 - great deal. Up for renewal, and you are forced to upgrade to 80 GB ( even though i only use about 1.7 now ). And they make it really confusing to cancel the auto upgrade. checked on another gmail account i use to ward off spam, and it still has the $5 option. Google wants to go for $20 or nothing - .............. then nothing is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you sign up for G+ and link it to your Picasa account you will get unlimited Picasa space for free. Maybe worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryw52 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have 7GB for free on Gmail why are you paying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Phil Connors is correct: Free storage * Gmail provides 7+ GB (and counting) for Gmail messages. * Docs provides 1 GB for your uploaded files (documents created in Google Docs and converted files don't count towards your storage, but do have some size limitations). * Picasa Web provides 1 GB for photos and videos. Files under certain sizes don't count towards this limit. * Google+ provides unlimited storage for photos, which are automatically resized to 2048 pixels. Videos up to 15 minutes in length are also free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
