Google's Sneaky Storage Cut: Phone Number Required for Full Access - briefly
(hx) 09:59 PM CEST - May,15 2026 - Post a comment

Google has quietly slashed free storage for new accounts to just 5GB by default. To unlock the full 15GB across Gmail, Drive, and Photos, users now must link and verify a phone number.

Privacy-focused rival MEGA is pushing back, offering 20GB of end-to-end encrypted storage for free—no phone number needed. The change, which rolled out in March 2026, has sparked fresh debate over data privacy versus convenience.
