Similar to Google Photos, the new policy won't affect files uploaded before June 1st, 2021. However, if you choose to edit those files after June 1st, Google will consider them as new files and they will count towards the 15 GB storage limit shared by Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos.
In 2021, Google's 15GB of free storage will also cover Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Google is shaking up its approach to inactive and over-storage-limit accounts after June 1st. If you don't use a Google service for 2 years, they say they'll wipe all content in that specific service. Google will notify you via email and in-product notifications at least 3 months before deletion. You can easily prevent this by continuing to use your account. Google advises regular access to Gmail, Drive, and Photos on the web or mobile when logged into your account.

Similarly, Google will clear all your content in Gmail, Google Drive, and Photos if you exceed storage limits for 2 years. Like inactive accounts, Google will give you prior notice. You can purchase additional storage through Google One or delete unnecessary files to avoid this scenario.
Google is updating its storage policy as users upload over 4.3 million GB of data on Gmail, Drive, and Photos every day. According to Google, this change aims to provide 'an excellent storage experience and to keep up with increasing demands.'
