Users about to finish consuming 15GB of free storage can free up space by using tools that Google has introduced for Google Photos to weed out unwanted photos and videos. Or users can adjust the quality of the photos so as to reduce the size of the file. Users can also do the same by going to the Manage Storage section in Google One.
