Google has been in a battle for years with Microsoft’s OneDrive for leadership in cloud storage. Google Drive offers a better connection with ecosystem applications, but It has storage restrictions in some of them like Gmail.
Gmail accounts have 15 GB of free storage, which includes email and applications such as Google Drive or Google Photos. This capacity is somewhat scarce for millions of users.
The solution? Contract the Google One Basic subscription that offers 100 GB to share with up to five users for 1.99 euros per month or the Google One Basic package with 2 TB and premium functions in Google Workspace for 9.99 euros per month.
If you run out of space on Google, you won’t be able to receive emails in Gmail. The alternative of subscribing to one of the packages does not convince many users, who are looking for an option to free up space for free.
All the secret codes to free up free storage in Gmail
The option of deleting old emails one by one is not the most practical, but there are some secret codes to make this task much faster.
- The code “Size:3m” is one of the most popular and allows filter emails that weigh more than three megabytes to delete only those that take up too much.
- The code “from:(name of a contact)” shows the emails of a contact or companyFor example, you can use combinations like from:carlos or from:amazon.
- The function “Older_Than: 1Y” allows you to select the oldest emails. If you change the number in front of the letter “Y” for “Year” (year in English) emails prior to that date will appear.
These codes are added to the Gmail search engine located at the top of the screen. From this bar you can modify the parameters until you find the emails you intend to delete from the account. Then you just have to select all the messages you want to delete to free up space.
