Google unifies cloud storage across Gmail, Drive and Google+, 15GB of free space offered



As a part of the process of integrating its various products, Google has now made changes to the way data is used, accessed and stored in free cloud storage offered with products such as Gmail, Google Drive and Google+ Photos.


 


Google announced that instead of offering 10GB storage for Gmail and another 5GB for Drive and Google+ Photos, it will now offer 15GB of unified storage, which can be used between Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos.

The consolidated space would be grouped under Drive and users will also be able to check how much of the space they've been using for individual services. They'll be able to see a breakdown of storage use across Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos when they hover over the pie chart that depicts Drive usage on the Google Drive storage page.

The changes to Google Drive storage will be rolled out over the next couple of weeks, according to Google. Google Apps users will also be getting shared storage shortly and they'll be able to share their 30GB unified space across Gmail, Drive and Google+ photos.

Google had earlier announced a "Save to Drive" button to save files directly from websites if websites added a code to enable it.
