I intentional keep my digital size very small (easy to backup, less emotional and cognitive burden), I am currently at around 40GB.
- 25GB of dslr photos (I filter aggressively)
- 400mb of code, university stuff I kept
- 250mb of documents
- 10GB in google photos
- A few GB of movies, ebooks
I recently went over the few thousands of emails I had in gmail and erased anything I don't need, I was surprised to find I only kept about 200 emails at the end of the process.
