Google Workspace @ NC State
Google Workspace Storage Project
Google discontinued unlimited storage for its higher education clients. NC State now enforces storage quotas on all accounts for Drive, Gmail, and Shared Drives.
Storage Quotas
- Visit our Google Workspace Storage Quotas knowledge base article for the most up to date quota information.
Users continuing to be over quotas will be billed annually on their overage amount to their unit.
Users can purchase Shared Drive quota increases. Please review the Can I Buy Google Storage knowledge article for more information.
I See “To Be Deleted” labels on my Drive files. When will they be deleted?
- With the end of the Google Storage project, there will not be set times for large deletions. When a user (faculty/staff/student) leaves the University, their account will be disabled and labels applied to any files they own. After one year, the files will be deleted. We recommend taking immediate action (making a copy of the file; moving it to a Shared Drive) when faced with a labeled file.
