Quite old 2012's article states that "Combining satellite, aerial and street level imagery, Google Maps has over 20 petabytes of data, which is equal to approximately 21 million gigabytes, or around 20,500 terabytes."
Another reported estimate for the total size of the Google Earth and Maps database is 3,017 TB or approximately 3 Petabytes not including Street view imagery.
Here are estimates for the Google Maps and Google Earth database by type of data:
- 3D Imagery: 1024 TB
- Default Layer Aerial Imagery: 179 TB
- Satellite Imagery: 196 TB
- Historical Imagery: 1,618 TB

∙ 9y agoFrom reports in 2006, the Google Earth and Google Maps data servers have 70.5 TB for both its map imagery and index data, and Personalized Search uses 4 TB.

"Total area of the planet: 510.3 million km2
Area of land emerged: 149.67 million km2 (29.31%)
Area of the seas and oceans: 360.63 million km2 (70.69%)
One image at 363 meters high resolution the GE use 300kb, average.
For entire Earth 1,579 Terabytes
Just Emerged Land 468 Terabytes"
And that's just for the birds eye view.
I don't know how the imaging for streets works (for 360 degree views and all)
But i'm guessing its a lot bigger than the birds eye view.
So, maybe something like in the 10s of thousands of terabytes.
Anyway it's pretty big.

How do you update Google Maps?
In 2006 Google Maps was updated to use the same satellite image database as Google Earth. Before that Google had to update and process imagery for both Google Earth and Google Maps where the maps where often out of sync with each other. Now Google updates its central map & imagery database and the updates are made available to both Google Earth and Google Maps at once. The time between getting imagery from satellite and seeing it on Google Maps is far from real-time. Once the imagery is taken by satellite, it takes time to process the data by a commercial provider like GeoEye before it is available to Google and other customers. Google will do additional processing to convert imagery into the format and coordinate system of its internal databases. This is one reason you normally won't find any imagery younger than about 6 months. For these reasons, the Google map & imagery database is updated once or twice a month.
