Finding
the page showing how much Gmail is taking up Google Drive took a while, and thus a post about
this. So, to check how much Gmail is
taking up my Google Drive storage, go here: https://one.google.com/u/0/storage.
If you are bored and need a break, feel free to read the rest of the post
retelling my life story just so the post might show up higher in search
results.
My story started
when my Google Drive is filling up and I want to check how much of that is due
to Gmail. From drive.google.com, even
though it tells me 87% of my drive is full, clicking on that link only shows me
the files stored in Google Drive and their sizes. I.e., nothing about
Gmail. I vaguely recall that information
used to be there, but alas, it is not relocated to elsewhere.
Googling for
keywords like "google view storage breakdown" or "how much Gmail take out google drive" takes me to page like this: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-free-up-google-drive-space/.
Not helpful.
Instead, to see how
much Gmail is taking up your Google Drive, you need to go to the settings via
Gmail.com, and at the bottom of the General settings, there's a "Manage
link" that sends you to the right place. I.e., the link I noted on the first paragraph of the post.
