On the occasion of Safer Internet Day Google gives 2 GB free hosting for every Gmail user who is willing to perform the safety checks of their account, which lasts about 3 minutes, index.hu told.
Index.hu shows how to get 2 gigabytes in the cloud in 6 easy steps.
- Click on this link.
- Log in to Gmail.
- Perform safety check; if you would like to, you can add a backup email address and phone number, but it is not mandatory.
- Check the devices connected to the account. If everything is good, click on Looks good.
- The system checks the applications connected to the profile. Nothing special, click on Done.
- If everything is okay, click on Continue to account settings.
And it is done. The free hosting does not appear immediately, it requires a couple of minutes until Google acknowledges the update. But if you look at your space on Google Drive, dragging the mouse to the pie chart, you will see the 2 GB extra hosting for the security settings, index.hu reported.
