(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) New Delhi: Google may soon close your Gmail account. Google has made its preparations for this. Google is introducing new policies for its consumer account, which will be effective from June 1 next year. Also, if you have been inactive for two years on Gmail, Drive or Google Photo, then the company can remove your content from those products in which you are inactive. The company said on Wednesday, the new policies are for consumer accounts that are either inactive or are exceeding the storage capacity limit on Gmail, Drive (including Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms and Jamboard files).
The company said, “If your account exceeds its storage limit for 2 years, then Google can remove your content from Gmail, Drive and Photos.” In addition, the company has said that it will inform users many times before attempting to remove the content. In such a situation, the easiest way to keep your account active is to visit your Gmail, Drive or Photo from time to time whenever you sign in or work on the Internet. Apart from this, Inactive Account Manager can also help in managing your particular content.” The company further said, ‘If you need more than your free 15 GB storage, you can upgrade to a larger storage plan with Google One.’
