Storage Quotas Applied April 12, 2023
Storage Quotas for Google will be applied to all UTC accounts on April 12, 2023. This will impact services like Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. A total of 99.9% of UTC accounts are already within the new storage quotas of 100GB for students and 500GB for faculty and staff. However, we encourage you to remove any unnecessary files to ensure you stay under the new limits. All accounts currently above the new limits have been contacted by the Information Technology department with instructions on next steps.
Campus Announcement on March 20, 2023
As many of you know, UTC offers enrolled students the option to store files or collaborate using a Google (MocsMail) account or a Microsoft O365 account. Google has recently removed unlimited storage options from all Google Workspace for Education accounts. These changes impact UTC’s ability to provide the same level of service as in the past. To comply with UTC’s new storage limits, Information Technology will be making several rounds of changes this year. The first round will include new storage quotas for all UTC Google accounts:
- Storage Quotas for Google will be applied to all UTC accounts this spring. This will impact services like Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. A total of 99.9% of UTC accounts are already within the new storage quotas of 100GB for students and 500GB for faculty and staff. However, we encourage you to remove any unnecessary files to ensure you stay under the new limits. All accounts currently above the new limits have been contacted by the Information Technology department with instructions on next steps.
- Storage Quotas for Google Shared Drives will be applied to all UTC Google shared drives this summer. Information Technology is in the process of identifying any shared drives over 100GB and will be communicating with users to begin moving files.
