Google Workspace @ NC State
Google Workspace Storage Project
Google discontinued unlimited storage for its higher education clients. NC State has established storage quotas on all accounts for Drive, Gmail, and Shared Drives.
Storage Quotas
- 100 GB: Faculty & staff, Extension Only County Collaborators, and Emeritus faculty
- 15 GB: Students
- 15 GB: per shared drive
- 5 GB: Generic accounts and “Other” – Unpaid classifications such as retirees, vendors
If you are one of the 10% of users who are above your quota, you received a temporary exception and need to reduce your storage by spring of 2025.
Can I Buy More?
At this time, the Google Service Team is working to address this challenge. A draft proposal has been created and is starting to be shared with campus. More information will be posted soon.
