Due to changes in our Google Workspace for Education licensing we will be implementing changes to Syracuse University user accounts. These changes consists of applying My Drive storage quotas and eliminating the ability to create Shared Drives within Google Workspace for users within the following Google Organizational Units: SU-Staff. My Drive storage quota for SU-Staff will be 10 GB per user. Users over the quota will be presented with a warning and be able to view, export, and remove files to bring their My Drive storage consumption under the storage quota. While users exceed the storage quota, they will be prevented from creating, uploading, and modifying files within their My Drive.
These changes are to take effect on November 1, 2023. SU Staff that are over storage quotas should delete or export their data from their g.syr.edu accounts. The recommended option for migrating your data over to another Google Workspace account would be through Google's migration tool, Google Takeout. This process is recommended by Google. The tool is provided by Google and due to its intricacies is not supported by Syracuse University ITS. For further instructions please visit our page on Google Takeout
