Reply to comment by N00B_N00M in LPT: Running out of Google Drive/Gmail space? Use “older_than:6y” in the search bar and then mass delete. Use “larger:10m” to find every email larger than 10mb and then mass delete. by R961ROP

How is the "weight" distributed in partner sharing? It goes to the amount with most space? nevermind, you explained I just read it too fast

Thanks for the tip, although I can't imagine Google won't crack down on this too eventually, they really want me to get that 100gigs

Apparently i have a huge library, i am procrastinating on doing this to my accounr, have done it for wife's phone as it was 100% and she was asking me to buy a new phone as storage is out , i am on ONE plan with 100GB, which is filling fast due to mainly photos ..

I was die hard fan and android fanboy just for this unlimited photos backup as i take lot of pics and it was a perk to never worry about getting storage filled due to unlimited backups

It truly was, we just didn't know about it. I am bitter with how they go about it though. Settings seem to jump back to full res every so often without warning, I can't seem to be allowed clearing a pic from the account yet keep it on my phone. I'm scared to hell to lose something forever if I batch delete anything and I feel like they know they put people in this situation. OTOH the one plan is reasonably priced and it makes sense to have to pay for something like this. I just really don't like being pushed around lol

When you said you repeat the operation every few months, do you mean a new account every few months? Isn't there a limit on # of accounts linked this way? I seem to remember 4, but maybe that's in drive.
