⚡️💻 NEW - Google is reducing the default free storage for new accounts from 15GB to 5GB.
New users signing up for a Google account now start with only 5GB of shared storage across Gmail, Drive, and Photos.
To unlock the full 15GB that has been the standard for years, users must verify their account with a phone number during signup.
Existing accounts are completely unaffected and continue to receive the original 15GB
This change is currently a limited test in select regions and Google says its to prevent storage abuse and ``stronger account security and easier data recovery´´
During setup, users can choose to skip phone verification and keep the 5GB limit if they prefer.
