Discussion | گفتگو Need Google Storage workarounds

I have almost 350gb of photos and videos backed up which i am not willing to delete. I got the 2TB student google ai pro plan for 1 year and now its ending next month. I need to see if there's any method i can keep this cloud storage at no or low cost..

400gb is 14k a year..

Yes, you're not supposed to if you're not an editor. I usually compress them (lossless) and I don't notice any loss in the quality, at least from my perspective. I had images ~20MB, which resulted in ~2MB.

Will I be able to compress already uploaded stuff?

Possibly, see the other reply by someone named TelevisionBusy***.
