Spam doesn’t just come in a small tin can. Spam has been clogging up email accounts for years now – and the number of spammers just seems to keep growing. Lack of storage space can also cause headaches for email users, but new features from Google can help keep spam under control and ensure you have enough space for all those family photos.

Google’s system allows you to report unwanted emails. Handling spam in Google is as simple as selecting unwanted messages and clicking on ‘Report Spam.’ This will remove the spam from your inbox and report it to Google. The more often you use this feature, the better the system becomes at preventing future spam. Also, try to limit who you give your email address to.

Ensuring you have enough space for emails is a breeze when you take advantage of one of Google’s two storage options. Google offers 5 GB of email storage for free, and the option to upgrade to 25 GB of storage for only $50 a year. A storage quota indicator at the bottom of your inbox quickly shows you how much storage you’re using and when it’s time to ditch some emails.
