Ways to spend less on Google Drive
Only files you own count, so check Storage before you upgrade
Google's help page says only the files you own count towards your storage, so things people share with you are free. Click Storage in Drive's left-hand menu and your files are listed biggest first. Clearing a few old videos there can save you buying the next plan up.
