OAKLAND, California: Alphabet Inc’s Google will start limiting how many high-quality photos users can store on the company’s cloud back-up service starting next June, it announced on Nov 11, in a move that could help protect profit margins.
“Growing demand for storage” means Google Photos can no longer honour a years-old policy of unlimited capacity for high-quality images, the company said in a blog post. Storage of images, along with files in Google’s document editing services, will instead be capped at a combined total of 15 gigabytes.
