I happened across a blog post with what seemed like a dire warning (Your Gmail, Photos and Drive could be deleted as Google introduces new rules next month). Reading further, there was no need to panic, but Google has instituted a warning that inactive accounts and free accounts with more than 15GB of content may eventually be deleted. Note you have more than a year to take action.
It is easy enough to check you Google data consumption. If you login to any of the Google services you use, you should find your picture in the upper right-hand corner. Select this picture and you should see the link to manage your account.
This link should reveal a source summarizing the total of your stored data. You can obtain additional information if you are interested. Multiple services you use (Gmail, Drive, photos) contribute to this total so you may not recognize the cumulative amount. I purchase an extra 100 GB for $2 a month. I see I coud double this allocation for $30 a year.
