How do I get more space without paying?  Why's WhatsApp saved to it?   Can't alter my CV on the software currently

Delete what you have there. Remember that when doing so, you also have to empty the bin to clear it out.

Why not save CV to computer?

If you use Gmail, that also eats into the storage allocation. It might just be a case of tidying that up - and emptying the trash.

Good idea.  I have three Gmail addresses.  Does each one have its own 15GB of storage?

I have a couple of tips of you don't want multiple Google accounts:

1. Turn off "auto-download" in WhatsApp. You'll have to tap on things to view them, but you won't get every photo, video and gif you're sent automatically saved to Google.

2. Look for large files like videos to delete or move them somewhere else like a memory stick (just remember that they'll no longer be backed up in Google).

Yes they should. I had two Google accounts, one with a non-gmail address, and only when I'd filled up both lots of 15GB did I decide to take the plunge and upgrade one to 100GB. I was storing old pictures in Drive, and had split them, but it was becoming a headache to search both drives. Now it's all in one place, along with WhatsAppp backups, and I only have one account to worry about/remember the password for.

That's interesting, didn't know such a thing was possible. What was the format of the non-gmail address?

You just add an account and put your full email address in, ignoring any encouragement to create a new gmail one!

I had (still have) one using <me>@ <mydomain>.com

Look for "use an existing email address"

How much you pay for 100GB?

Why not just put on couple of external hard drives?
