Out of Space in Google? Have you considered a 2nd account?

Google gives you a fairly generous 15GB of cloud storage, but that can eventually fill up. Before you shell out for the paid tier for 100GB for $20pa, consider creating a second account.

Hear me out. The idea is to create a second account and use it to archive emails and photos to that account, thereby freeing up space in your primary account to keep on trucking.

This was you can:

• Free Up Valuable Storage: Regain control of your primary inbox without paying for extra storage.
  
• Preserve Memories: Keep all your old emails intact, from sentimental messages to important documents.
  
• Organise Your Inbox: Maintain a clean and organised primary account for active communication.
  

If you want to get the ball started, create your second account then you need to link them in Google Settings. I’ll lay out the process in our show notes on the blog.

If you want to download photos to your PC and get off the cloud, head over to takeout.google.com and follow the steps to download any or all of your Google data.
