Starting June 1, any new photos and videos uploaded to Google’s sharing and storage service will count against the free 15GB of capacity that comes with every Google account (or the additional storage you might have purchased as a Google One member). Notably, Google account storage is shared across Photos, Drive and Gmail, so you’ll want to keep that in mind when divvying up space.
The changes don’t go into effect until June 1, meaning you’ve got until then to upload as many photos and videos as you’d like.
Also worth acknowledging is the fact that users with a Pixel smartphone are exempt from this exception.
