How Much Can You Store in Google Drive?

                 Google gives you 15 GB of free cloud storage when you sign up for the first time. If needed, you
                 can upgrade it to more space by paying some amount. All your Google apps share this free space.
                 Avoid syncing your hard disk data with Google Drive to prevent unnecessary duplication of your
                 files and conserve valuable storage space. Ensure that both your Inbox and Google Drive remain
                 free of unnecessary files to prevent exhausting the complimentary cloud storage space provided
                 to you.
