Running down the 15GB storage available on your Google Drive might be easier than you imagined, but Google is now letting you access 1TB worth of storage for free. Google is giving everyone the chance to get up to 1TB storage on the Google Drive if they help the search-engine giant improve the popular Google Maps.

In order to get the specified 1TB Drive storage, the user is expected to write reviews, provide navigational support via Google’s Local Guides programme.

Join the Google Local Guides programme and you can earn points and level up by writing reviews, uploading photos, adding new places, fixing outdated information, and answering simple questions. Each contribution type is worth one point, so you can earn up to five points per place.

Google Maps is one of the most popular location tracking and navigation platform across the globe. In India, the stakes are even higher with Google Maps because Apple has failed to establish itself in the mapping arena in the country. The incentive of 1TB storage on the Drive is highly attractive for users and this way, Google can vastly improve on its existing Maps ecosystem while retaining higher consumer brand recall.
