Google's Data Purge: Protect Your Gmail and Photos Now

Google is set to enforce an updated inactive account policy starting from December 1, which may result in the deletion of content such as Gmail messages, photos, and documents for inactive accounts. However, the majority of active Gmail and Google Photos users will not be affected. Google's official reason for the purge is to improve security, as inactive accounts are more likely to be compromised. To protect your data, ensure that you have accessed your Google accounts within the last two years and complete the Google Account Security Checkup. It's important to note that this policy also applies to Google Drive, Docs, and Calendar data.
