Google provides 15GB of storage distributed like Google Photos, Google Drive, and Gmail alike. If you use the Google account through the office or school, you can upgrade to 30 GB of additional storage space. Also, you can add extra storage space for Gmail as you pay to use the extra 15GB limit. Due to lack of technical knowledge, many users do not know that they can use limited storage space, and in case of storage limit is exhausted, they cannot send or receive emails.

To avoid the error, try to delete the spam messages and empty the trash. For best results, back up your email and reset your email account.
