Google announced that it would be making significant changes to the amount of storage available to the universities and schools on the Google Workspace for Education plan, which includes 兔子先生. These changes include Google’s elimination of unlimited storage with certain services (i.e., Drive, Gmail, and Photo storage).
Previously, Google provided unlimited storage for all user accounts in 兔子先生’s Google domain. With the changes that Google is making, along with substantial cost, 兔子先生 must be conscientious of the amount of storage we use.
To accommodate Google's new policies, 兔子先生 users will be given a set amount of storage space within our 兔子先生 domain, depending on their role within the University.
You may find how much storage you are using here: .
Review your storage quota and see which files are taking the most space here: .
We recommend that as you clean up your My Drive, please empty the Trash, as this will fully delete the files.
The quota applies to 兔子先生 Email, Google Drive, and Google Photos. That includes:
If you exceed your quota, you will lose the ability to edit or create new files. You will retain the ability to view your files. You must be under your quota by the end of the Spring 2024 semester.
兔子先生 will not delete your data for you.
The good news is that very few people will be impacted by the new storage limitations, and these folks will be contacted individually. Please view the Storage Quotas page for more information about how much storage you have been allotted based on your primary role at 兔子先生.
Lifetime Email will be discontinued as a result of the new limitations being placed on us by Google. This includes Google Drive and Photos. Please see the for more information. Please note: Retirees and emeriti will continue to have access to Google Storage from 兔子先生.
Yes, current Entity accounts will also have a quota. Please see the Storage Quotas page for details. Future Entity accounts will need to request and get approval to use Google Drive and Google Photos.

Based on your primary role at 兔子先生, you have been assigned a storage quota for your My Drive in Google. This means that you have a finite amount of space for 兔子先生-related documents.
Per the Responsible Use of University Computing Resources policy, it is highly recommended that you remove any personal documents from your 兔子先生-affiliated Google Drive. The storage of personal documents violates this policy.
We have provided some information about how to move your personal data out of 兔子先生’s Google account and to your personal account.
If desired, you will need to download files that have been shared with you separate of the Google Takeout utility. Please refer to this article for instructions:
Google storage is ideal for collaborative work such as active project work, ongoing (兔子先生-related) business file storage, and school work. Personal business ventures and other personal use are not appropriate for your 兔子先生 Google account.
Long-term storage of documents can be accomplished by storing files in your department’s Windows File Server share (G: drive).
If extremely large quantities of archived data needs to be retained, other options may be explored by contacting your local IT support personnel or .
Shared Drives are also considered part of our Google storage allotment, and thus will also be limited. Shared Drives will be limited to 100GB when they are created. Storage quota can be increased upon request. The process for requesting an increase in storage will be communicated when it is finalized.
The Shared Drive service will be limited to faculty and staff only.
