Google also offers a personalized time estimate for your account based on how many images you upload regularly and how much storage you've got left - though if you change your habits following the removal of free storage, you might have more time left than the estimate tells you. ![]() If you want to keep using Google Photos, it'll likely take some time until you fill up your free 15GB of storage if you don't have a ton of emails and Drive documents saved to your account already.
