It's worth it admittedly, but I can't get over that I'm doing what both companies want me to do - pay them for a service that could be free if I didn’t rely on them so much.įine take my money, you greedy suckers. So now the two of the biggest tech companies get $1.99 and 99 cents from me every month. Luckily that meant charging just under $1 a month for 50 GB of online storage, but still I'm cheap and it adds up. After seven years of iPhone ownership it was time to pay up. Again the 5 free GB couldn't keep up with the realities of my digital life. My mom had to cough up the nearly $2 monthly charge for her personal email account last week.Įven on my iPhone I relented to the endless pressure from iCloud to buy more storage space. Google Drive will then display a list of every file in your Google Drive. My boyfriend recently hit the same Gmail storage roadblock and started forwarding emails to his various work accounts. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner. Double-click the Devices and drives section to expand it if you can’t see your local drive. Click This PC on Explorer’s left navigation bar. I know it's not just me giving in reluctantly to the auto-subscription. To check your local drive’s available storage space in Explorer, follow these steps: Open the Explorer app (it has a convenient Win + E keyboard shortcut you can press). The good times had come to an end and it looked like shelling out nearly $24 a year to a company that makes $109.65 billion in annual revenue. I'd been so cocky for 12 years, thinking I could string out my free 15 GB of free Google Drive storage (that includes my emails, Documents, Sheets, Photos - my entire online life, basically). My credit card is auto-charged once a month so I can have space on Google Drive.
