Common issues
What happens to my Google Drive files if I downgrade?
Files over 15GB won't be deleted immediately, but new files won't sync and Gmail will stop sending/receiving if you're over the limit. Google gives a grace period before taking action.
Does cancelling Google One affect Google Photos?
Yes — Google Photos storage counts toward your Google account total. If you've exceeded 15GB, photos may stop backing up after you downgrade.
