Google to delete user account data if inactive for more than two years, effective June 2021


BENGALURU: Google said it will delete the contents of its user’s account if their account has been inactive for more than two years.


This includes products like Gmail, Drive or Photos. This policy is effective June 1, 2021. The policy won’t apply to users that have bought additional storage.


Earlier in November it had it will start limiting how many high-quality photos users can store on the company’s cloud back-up service from June 1, 2021. Storage of images, along with files in Google’s document editing services, will instead be capped at a combined total of 15 gigabytes.


“Original quality” images, or incredibly high-resolution copies, were the only ones to previously count against the limit. Google’s plans for additional storage.


These moves address being seen as a way to protect its profit margins. Google has faced eroding profits in recent years as it invests heavily in cloud storage systems without experiencing a related increase in revenue. But the company this year has been aiming to close the gap by adjusting perks of its ‘Google One‘ offering to draw more sales.


Google One is a subscription plan for users to purchase additional storage.
