Will paying for Google storage free up space on my phone for photos and emails?

Yes! When you pay for Google storage, that's for cloud storage, which is separate from your phone's internal memory. You'll be able to back up your photos and files to the cloud, which will free up space on your device. After backing them up, you can delete them from the phone to make room for new stuff. So, once that's done, you should be able to take more photos and receive emails again!

You can sync your photos to Google Photos and then delete them from your phone. This way, you won’t need to buy extra storage unless you want more cloud space. Alternatively, connecting your phone to a PC and moving your photos there is a great way to clear up room without paying for Google storage.

Remember, your phone's storage is physical. If it's full, adding more stuff just won't work unless you delete something first. So, if you want to keep using your phone for taking pictures and receiving emails, you’ll need to clear some space one way or another!

What I recommend is to first transfer your photos and files from your phone to a computer or external hard drive. Your phone's internal storage is limited, so moving things off will clear up space. Think of it like having too much stuff in a closet. Instead of building a bigger closet, clear out what you don't need on the phone. Just remember, keep your important data stored safely somewhere else so you don’t lose it if something happens to your phone.
