Are you running out of Gmail storage? Well, here’s some good news: you can easily get 15GB of Gmail storage for free, and you won’t need to delete old emails or files to free up space.
Gmail offers 15GB of free storage—shared across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos—but if you are a heavy user of Google's services, it can fill up quickly. Instead of deleting something that’s important, like an attachment, or old photos or files, there is a neat hack that gives you 15GB more instantly.
How to get free storage in Gmail?
It’s simple: Create another Google Account. Each Google account, a.k.a. Gmail account, gets 15GB of free storage. After you create your new account, if you want, you can:
- Forward emails from your Gmail to your new one (or your new one even to your main Gmail).
- Share large Google Drive folders between the accounts.
- Use the Google Photos Partner Sharing feature, which automatically backs up photos to your new account.
Essentially, you will free up space in your main inbox when you offload files to the new Gmail account, and you will still maintain access to important emails.
Why this works?
Essentially, Google does not limit the number of accounts you can create for free, and every new Gmail address you create will come with a free 15GB of storage.
It’s the easiest way to keep using Gmail and Drive without paying for Google One or deleting old content.
Before creating a new account, you can also use Google’s “Storage Manager” (one.google.com/storage/management) to delete unnecessary large files, spam emails, and old attachments.
