will not be impacted by this new inactive policy.
- If you exceed your storage limit for 2 years, we may delete your content
across Gmail, Drive and Photos.
What this means for you:
- You won't be impacted by these changes unless you've been inactive or
over your storage limit for 2 years. As this policy goes into effect June
1, 2021, the earliest it would be enforced is June 1, 2023.
- After June 1, 2021, if you are either inactive or over your storage
limit, we will send you email reminders and notifications in advance and
prior to deleting any content.
- Even if you are either inactive or over your storage limit for one or
more of these services and content is deleted, you will still be able to
sign in.
- Note: The inactivity and over quota storage policies will apply only to
consumer users of Google services. Google Workspace, G Suite for Education
and G Suite for Nonprofits policies are not changing at this time, and
admins should look to the Admin Help
center<
https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEyz_mYdO5gyMSKR85oH9XRFPOKy6GAYE9nBX16VXVocSEVWKDBSPm_C0eDMp8XMx_mrz6_ccFXDQVp7HxjAYDVY3fcIlBCGP6bCL839Kl1KEFaGSMUFxREJ7WfO5A>
