Google provides 15 GB of storage distributed as 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 additional storage space for Gmail as it is paid to use the additional 15 GB limit. Due to lack of technical knowledge, many users do not know that they can use limited storage space and in case the storage limit is used up, they cannot send/receive emails.
Although some users have limited email usage and therefore the storage limit will never be exceeded for them but for professional users the story is different. To avoid the error, try deleting spam messages and empty your trash folder. For best results, create a mail backup and reset the mail account.
