Your storage quota is usually 15 GB. It's shared between Gmail and Drive (including Photos if you upload them with Drive in full fidelity).
One thing that often trips people up is that they delete loads of Gmail messages, but it doesn't fix the problem, because the messages are still in the Trash, which is still counted. You need to go into Trash and click *Empty*.See this help page for more info: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6374270 richi <https://www.richi.uk/>.
