Google Drive It is one of the most popular cloud storage services with the largest number of users worldwide, among other things thanks to its simplicity and the many options it offers us. Of course, unfortunately, it has a single drawback that is none other than not offering us unlimited and free space. In a native way, any user can have 15GB of storage available, undoubtedly very scarce for almost everyone.
To try to lessen the impact of this feature, we want to offer you through this article how to get free storage on Google Drive thanks to Local Guides, which will allow us to store a greater number of images, videos or any other type of files. This is not the only way to get extra and free storage, but it is one of the few that will not involve a significant monetary outlay.
What is Local Guides?
Before launching into explaining how to get free storage space on Google Drive, let's explain what Local Guides is, an interesting feature of Google Maps that you will almost certainly have used on occasion, although without realizing it. This Google tool will also be the one that allows us to add extra storage in our Google Drive account.
In Google Maps there are certain places, such as some well-known monuments, restaurants, bars and even gyms, which have their own section where users can include opinions and photographs of the place in question. All these places with opinions and images of the users who visit them make up Local Guides.
Being an active participant will allow us to gain extra storage for our Google Drive account, and if we manage to reach level 4 in Local Guides we will become Premium Drive users with what that entails.
How to get free Google Drive storage
To get the long-awaited free storage in Google Drive with the use of Local Guides, we must bear in mind that We will receive points every time we add a photo, a comment or a rating. Below we show you the division into levels:
