Only 5GB storage without phone number verification

Previously, all new Google Accounts automatically came with 15GB of free cloud storage. But, under the new policy, new users will initially be given only 5GB of storage space. The remaining storage will be available only when the user verifies his phone number.

This new policy affects three main Google services:

Gmail

Google Drive

Google Drive

Google Photos

Why has Google made this change?

Google has implemented this policy mainly to deal with fake accounts and automated bots. The Company believes that many users and automated systems frequently create new accounts to take advantage of free storage.

By requiring phone number verification to access the full storage limit, Google aims to:

Prevent fake or spam accounts

Preventing misuse of free cloud storage

Improve account authenticity and security
