YOGYAKARTA - Gmail has limited storage space capacity. This can make the user account unable to receive new email because it does not have storage space.

Even though it only takes up a small amount of space, the large number of files in your Gmail makes the storage space full. The reason is, Gmail uses the available storage space on Google Drive and has limited capacity.

However, users need not worry because there are a number of ways you can solve the problem of email not being able to get into your Gmail because the storage space is already loading too many files.

Below, the VOI team has summarized some of the ways you can make more space in your Gmail so you can receive new emails.

Delete Files in Google Drive and Google Photos

One of the files that makes Google Drive storage space full faster is the number of large files that you store in Google Drive. These large files are usually photos or videos so that users can delete them.

Delete Unimportant Emails

Apart from deleting files stored in Google Drive, users can also delete some emails that are not important in your Gmail. For example, emails promoting certain products or other things that are no longer relevant to you.

To simplify the deletion process, users can enter certain keywords in the search field at the top of Gmail, then click the All Email column that corresponds to the keywords you wrote.

This way, all emails that have the keywords you wrote down will be deleted, so you'll have more storage space in your Gmail so you can receive new emails.

Upgrade Storage Space to Premium

In addition to deleting files in storage space, users can also increase the space on Google Drive so that they can receive more files via email.

To upgrade storage space on Google Drive users have to pay for the plans offered by Google. You can do this method if the email address is used for business activities, while for personal matters, users are not advised to upgrade storage space to premium mode.

These are a number of ways that you can do when your Gmail can no longer receive new email due to full storage space on Google Drive.
