Towards the end of last year, we heard about storage changes coming to Google Drive and Google Photos. At that time, these changes were slated for June 1, 2021. Well, these changes are… ah, uhm… changing:
For Google Workspace accounts:
From Google's latest announcement, we learn that while they will be moving forward with the plans for Google Photos on June 1, 2021, the changes to storage for native Google Drive files will not be rolled out until February 1, 2022.
Google Photos:
High-quality photos will count towards your Drive quota beginning June 1, 2021.
Google Drive:
Newly created Google files will count towards your storage starting February 1, 2022. Existing Google files will not count towards your storage, unless they get modified on or after February 1, 2022.
The details are here:

For personal Google Accounts:
No changes will come to the changes already announced for personal Google Accounts, so what is outlined here still holds true:

(I think I couldn't have used the word "change" more times if I tried in this post… What do you think, have I maxed out all the possibilities or could I fit a few more in? :))
