Issues with your storage space

Storage space doesn't change after upgrade

It may take up to 24 hours for your new storage to become available. Check again in a day to verify if your storage space updates.

A Google One membership replaces your current storage plan. The storage from your Google One membership becomes your new storage limit and isn't added on top of your existing storage.

If you got storage as part of a promotion, you keep the extra storage.

Other issues

You can't send or receive emails after the upgrade

If you change your storage limit, it can take up to 24 hours for the changes to apply to your account. In these 24 hours, messages you send or receive through Gmail can be affected. Try these troubleshooting steps:

Sign out of your Google Account, then sign back in.
Send a test email to yourself.
If that doesn't work:
- Open an incognito window and log into your Gmail account. Then, try to send an email.
- Use a different browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox to open your Google Account. Try to send an email.

If you still can't send messages, wait 24 hours and try again.

What happens if you run out of space

All your files stay safe, but you can't store anything new. For example:

Gmail

You can't send or receive messages. Messages sent to you are returned to the sender.
