Another major culprit in consuming storage on Google Drive is images and videos stored in Google Photos. If you don’t require original quality for all your photos, consider adjusting the storage settings so that they take up less space. Additionally, remember to empty the trash bin in Google Photos, as deleted files often remain stored there temporarily.
