I fixed my Pixel's Google storage problems by changing one simple setting
Google's revised backup policy makes per-app toggles mandatory for power users.
A user of a Pixel 7 phone recently found that their Google storage was almost full, despite being careful about what files were backed up to the cloud. They discovered that the issue was due to a background safety net feature that was protecting their device, but using up their storage quota.
Google's free storage tier offers 15GB of space. Most cloud storage providers offer up to 2TB in their high-end consumer tiers.
The user's experience with their Pixel phone did not relate to other recent Google releases, such as the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which features a thinner and lighter design compared to its predecessor. Other tech topics include customizing the RGB light module on the Pixel 11 Pro.
