"They have the power to decrypt files which can make them easier for hackers." "Because they are in control of these encryption keys, it can lead to vulnerabilities for its users," said Kristen Bolig, founder at SecurityNerd. Encryption keys are tools that let Google (or whoever has the keys) decrypt files, bypassing all their security. If you don’t see an estimate, you may not have uploaded many photos and videos to Google Photos, you may be close to your storage limit (making it difficult to predict how many months your remaining storage will last) or your account is provided through work, school, family or another group.Some security experts don't love that Google keeps encryption keys for all the files on Google Drive. As your storage nears 15GB, we will notify you in the app and follow up by email. We estimate that more than 80 percent of you should still be able to store roughly three more years of memories in High quality with your free 15GB of storage. You have a personalized estimate of how long your storage may last: Your estimate takes into account how frequently you back up photos, videos and other content to your Google Account. These photos and videos will remain free and exempt from the storage limit. Your existing High quality photos and videos are exempt from this change: Any photos or videos backed up in High quality before June 1, 2021, will not count toward your Google Account storage. On Tuesday, June 1, we’ll start rolling out this change so that any new photos and videos you back up will count toward the free 15GB of storage that comes with every Google Account or the additional storage you’ve purchased as a Google One member.īefore this happens, we want to recap what we announced back in November - and share a couple new things - to make the transition easier. Six months ago, we announced a change to our High quality storage policy that allows us to keep pace with the growing demand for storage and build Google Photos for the future.
