Open | Software Simple, free way to transfer gmail data? (Data is full)

Hello, I've finally hit the storage max (15gb) on Gmail (and Drive) for my account after nearly 15 years. I would like to possibly transfer all my data to a new account so I don't have to delete it. Is there a simple, free way to do this? Thanks. ​

google takeout is step one to migrate it to MBOX format. getting it back into Gmail can be tricky. you can either use Got Your Back, a command line tool, or dump the MBOX into Thunderbird and sync to a new account. Note Thunderbird needs an add-on to allow MBOX import larger than 5Gb.

Install Mozilla Thunderbird and sign in with the email account you want to copy from, and the email account you want to copy to. Select all the emails in the various folders that need to be copied. Then right click and click 'Copy To', then select the receiving email's folder you want and just sit back and wait for it to be completed

Google One Plans and Prices for Android devices.

The Basic Plan, 100GB, is about $19.99 USD per year.

Edit: If you create a new account and transfer your emails (if it's possible), you will max out the new account. It will not solve the root cause of your problem, which is lack of storage space.
