This was previously true. Free storage at Google hasn't increased from 15 GB since 2013. (I have a few promotional bonuses that bring me up to about 19 GB, but it's been that way for... over half a decade without increase.) Personally, my Google storage is mostly full, even though I haven't used Google Drive or Gmail since 2016, and have removed much of my personal content since then.
Also, now they're actually effectively decreasing everyone's storage. Previously, Google Drive document types and Google Photos didn't count towards that 15 GB limit. They will as of June 1st, 2021: https://blog.google/products/photos/storage-policy-update/ https://blog.google/products/photos/storage-policy-update/
So, while cloud storage usage has exploded over the past eight years, Google's storage limits have not only not expanded to meet it, they've actually begun to tighten the belt.
