[QUOTE="dxx, post: 25937607, member: 386171"] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/OPv4NE6.jpg[/IMG] [URL='https://www.express.co.uk/latest/google']Google[/URL] has started to warn users that their Gmail, Google Photos and Google Drive content could be deleted unless they follow the latest rules. The new alert has been issued in an email, which explains that Google's new storage policies will be coming into force from next year. "We are writing to let you know that we recently announced new storage policies for Google Accounts using Gmail, Google Drive (including Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Jamboard files) and/or Google Photos that bring us in line with industry practices," Google explains in the email seen by Express.co.uk. Those who don't abide by the changes could see their private content deleted from Google's servers although the US firm says it will notify people multiple times before it attempts to remove any content so that those affected should have ample opportunities to take action. Google says that accounts will only be targeted if they have not been used for two years or a user exceeds their storage limit for two years. Announcing the changes, Google confirmed: "If you're inactive for 2 years (24 months) in Gmail, Drive or Photos, we may delete the content in the product(s) in which you're inactive. If you exceed your storage limit for 2 years, we may delete your content across Gmail, Drive and Photos." Google is keen to point out that the earliest anyone will find their content removed is June 21 2023. This is because the new rules don't come into force until June 2021 and users then have two years to comply. Google One members who are within their storage quota and in good-standing will also not be impacted by this new inactive policy. As always, every Google Account will continue to come with 15 GB of free storage across Gmail, Drive and Photos, which Google estimates should last the majority of its users several years.
