Common questions

Why is my Google storage full?

Google gives every free account 15 GB shared across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. Large email attachments, photo backups at full resolution, and synced desktop folders all eat into this limit. Once it fills, Google blocks new incoming emails and prevents new files being saved to Drive.

What happens if I ignore the 'Google storage full' warning?

Google will stop accepting new emails — senders will receive a bounce message saying your mailbox is full. New files cannot be saved to Drive or synced from desktop. Google Photos stops backing up new photos.

Is Mega.nz free?

Yes. Mega.nz offers 20 GB of free encrypted cloud storage. Your files are end-to-end encrypted — only you can access them. GTransfer Pro moves your Google Drive files directly to Mega.nz without you needing to download anything.

Will my files be deleted from Google Drive after the transfer?

No. GTransfer copies your files to Mega.nz or Drime. The originals stay in Google Drive until you choose to delete them yourself. This means you can verify the transfer completed successfully before cleaning up.

Is this better than buying Google One storage?

For most people, yes. Google One costs £1.59/month for 100 GB — that's £19 per year, forever. GTransfer Pro costs £19 once and moves your files to 40 GB of free cloud storage. If you mainly have Drive files eating your quota, GTransfer is the cheaper long-term fix.
