I’m building a Vinyl database, and need to include pictures of each record on my page. I ran out of storage at around 45 images, and can’t afford premium, so I tried putting google drive links instead. My app still has the “Storage Full” notification. Does google drive count towards my storage total?

No, external drive links do not count against your storage because you are not storing them on Glides’s storage.

It may take a while for those items to be deleted from your storage.
