Dont Pay for Gmail Storage -- You Can Get Back 15GB for Free
Summary
If the idea of cleaning out your inbox feels overwhelming, you might want to give up and start paying for extra Gmail storage. Fifteen gigabytes of free storage may sound like a lot when you make a Gmail account but it gets filled up quickly. Even if you choose the least expensive plan -- 100GB for $20 a year -- youll still end up paying money to store old emails that you might not even need anymore. Even so, that option might seem tedious; maybe you dont want to spend hours sifting through correspondence from a decade or more ago, deciding which memories to keep and which to get rid of forever. You can delete the backup after you finish transferring the emails to your new account if you like but its always a good idea to have an extra copy stored locally.
