Use Google Photos? Unlimited storage goes away on June 1. Here are your other options

Big changes are coming soon to users of Google Photos.

On June 1, the service will drop unlimited storage for photos and videos. All uploads you add after June 1 will count toward the free 15GB offered to every account.

But don’t rush to move your photos just yet: Current photos and videos already on Google Photos or added before June 1 will not count toward the 15GB limit.

The storage is not only for Photos, though. It’s shared among multiple Google services including Drive and Gmail.

You’ll get personalized estimates of how much storage you have left, and Google will add a tool to Photos to help you more easily manage images or videos to free up space.

Once you go beyond 15GB, you’ll have to pay up. The tech giant’s Google One plans start at $1.99 a month for 100GB, or you can pay $2.99 a month for 200GB. There’s also a 2TB plan for $9.99 monthly.

If this is all too much and you’d rather change services, you have several options, both in the cloud and offline.
