Like everyone I’m struggling to keep my data on Google drive below their limit. This is fine. I’ve been gradually deleting photos from my drive and transferring them to my own storage.

I managed to clear up about 2GB of space that away, but recently, a few weeks ago my consumed storage jumped up. I cannot figure though what is the file that tis taking away my data. It could be the I switched phone, but I don’t see any big sync folder/file that I should delete here.

Any idea what is happening?

(Note: I’ve stopped sharing my photos with Google drive)

    Google One gives you an itemized look at what is using your storage space. All of the Google Apps are represented, device backups, and individual apps that are using Drive for storage too. I’d presume it would point you in the right direction, without needing to manually download everything and sift through.

      Yes, I’ve seen that, but I don’t see anything trully suspecious there.

      There are a bunch of videos that I should delte though. They total to about 2GB. So I guess I’m back to slowly deleting my data from there.
