Like most parents, the amount of digital photos I took exploded when my daughter was born. By the time her umbilical cord was cut I’d already had emails from Google – not to congratulate me (thanks Google), but to let me know my Google Drive was filling up fast.
As my daughter turned from a grey and slimy newborn into an adorable baby, and started actually doing interesting and cute things, rather than just being a screaming potato, my Google Drive capacity came under even greater strain thanks to the deluge of photos I was taking. Google’s emails became more alarming as I reached my storage quota.
