What happens to your data if you stop paying for Google One?
Google won't delete your files, at least not right away.


Every Google account holder receives 15GB of free storage shared across the company’s services, including Google Photos, Gmail, Google Drive, and others. Once you reach this limit, you’ll no longer be able to upload new photos or files, send or receive emails in Gmail, or even create new documents in Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, among other restrictions.
This is where Google One subscription plans become relevant. These plans offer increased cloud storage space, along with a few other perks, for a monthly fee. But what happens if you’ve been using, say, 100GB of Google cloud storage through a Google One plan and then decide to cancel your subscription? Can you still access your files, or are they deleted immediately? Let’s explore what happens.
