WhatsApp users who benefit from the 15 GB of free storage on Google Drive granted with a Google account will have to clean up their act. Indeed, starting next year, WhatsApp backups on Android will be taken into account in the Google Drive space. This practice lasted until 2018, when it was stopped. The Californian giant specifies that people with a professional or school Workspace subscription are not affected by this change.
Google Drive is a convenient solution for backing up your important files, as well as facilitating sharing and collaboration between multiple users.

Although the 15 GB of cloud storage that Google offers is three times more than what competing services offer, this space is also used to save photos, videos, documents of all kinds and Gmail messages. Suffice to say that a few years of regular use will quickly reach the limits.
The opportunity to promote Google One
« WhatsApp backups on Android will continue to work as long as you have space available in your Google account storage. If you reach your storage limit, you will need to free up space to resume backups by deleting items you don’t need,” explains Google.
The Mountain View firm takes the opportunity to highlight its paid Google One service which offers storage extensions on Drive as well as a VPN. “ To help you make the transition, we’ll soon be offering limited, one-time promotions to eligible users on Google One », Google advertises.
Google One is the service that allows you to manage your Google account from A to Z whether or not you have a Google One subscription. Accessible from the Android, iOS application or via the online service.
