Yes. If you are a student or alumnus, your storage must be reduced to 5 GB or less. Excess data will be subject to deletion on December 15, 2025.
If you are a staff member, student worker, retiree or faculty member, your storage must be reduced to 20 GB or less. Excess data will be subject to deletion on December 15, 2025.
Please note: Once a student worker exits their role, their storage allotment will be reduced to 5 GB.
After the final deadline of December 15, 2025 passes, community members whose data exceeds their storage allotment will be unable to add additional files. Those individuals can still access their Workspace; however, additional data will not be accepted. Their excess data will also be subject to deletion following this date.
No exceptions will be granted, and deleted data cannot be recovered. The University cannot support the excess cost associated with over-quota Workspace storage. As multiple prior warnings have been delivered, further exceptions or extensions will not be considered.
Staff and Faculty will still be able to create shared drives, but students will no longer have the ability to create a shared drive.
For students in need of a shared drive for a course-specific project or research, please contact your professor for assistance.
Using Google Takeout is recommended for smooth file migration. Google Takeout allows you to download and export a copy of your data from Google services to another storage service.
