What if my Google Drive is full?

Your Google Drive storage is limited, depending on your Google Workspace plan. If your Google Drive runs out of space while we are trying to sync data, the sync will fail.

Options to free up space or increase storage

1. Upgrade your Google account

Upgrade your Google Workspace plan to increase your cloud storage capacity. You can find more information about storage options here.

2. Add more users

If you have team members without licences, you can purchase additional user licences. Each new user licence includes extra storage space.

3. Free up space

You can clear existing storage by:

  • Deleting old emails in Gmail

  • Removing photos and videos from Google Photos

  • Deleting documents from Google Drive

  • Emptying your trash folder

Note: If your Google Drive is full, ProBackup will stop syncing data to your Google Drive folder. We do not automatically delete older files to free up space.
