If you’re a G Suite user who’s taking advantage of the high storage limits, you’ll probably have to get in touch with Google when the time comes to switch to Workspace. All active U-M affiliates will receive 250 gigabytes of storage, while alumni and retirees will receive 15 GB to use across all U-M Google services, including Google Drive, Mail and Photos. That, of course, comes with some added benefits of its own, but on the storage front, it’s certainly a bit disappointing. The storage limits for university community members who use U-M Google took effect Jan. New business users can no longer sign up for G Suite plans, leaving Workspace as the only option. Unfortunately, there’s no way around this. And with the Enterprise editions, available to customers of all sizes, more storage can be requested if needed. With the new editions, we’re providing more value with features that are useful to more customers, like Meet recordings in the new Business Standard edition, while maintaining pricing and plentiful storage. A Google spokesperson explains:Ī relatively small number of organizations in a few specific industries actually realize the full benefit of unlimited storage. Apparently, under the new plans, additional storage can be requested if needed. All of those tiers, too, are limited to 300 people.Īpparently, the change was made because Google found that a “relatively small number of organizations” actually realize the full benefit of the unlimited storage space. “Business Standard” ups that to 2TB and “Business Plus” 5TB. The “Business Starter” tier offers only 30GB per user. The “Business” tier, though, allowed not only an unlimited number of users, but also unlimited storage for each user as long as there were more than 4.īy comparison, Google Workspace has some pretty strict requirements on Drive storage and even users for that matter. On the old system, the “Basic” tier allowed each user 30GB of storage, but you could have as many users as you want. Workspace is the latest change Google has made to its online productivity suite and, alongside branding and workflow updates, the company is also tweaking some of the capabilities.Īs pointed out by Android Police, Google Drive storage on Workspace works differently from G Suite. Unfortunately, though, unlimited Google Drive storage going away with Workspace. Ryerson has a Records Retention Schedule that provides guidance on the retention period for University Records.Google Drive storage is very useful and, in the days of G Suite, business owners had the ability to get unlimited Google Drive storage. Before sharing files that contain sensitive information document access control procedures including the employment roles that you are sharing the file with, whether they can read only or also edit or comment on the document, and that you include a retention period at the end of which the file will be removed or deleted from Google Drive. Check to ensure you are following Ryerson's privacy policy and procedures and security policy by limiting sharing to those who need the information in the performance of their duties, or with a legally-authorized purpose. Regardless of how you share files, please be cautious about sharing personal information or other kinds of sensitive information. You have a range of options from sharing with specific individuals with a Ryerson Google Apps account to anyone on the Internet. Google Drive lets you choose how you share documents. So please do not always expect to experience lightning fast speeds for very large Drive files.īy default, documents and files in Drive are "private" which means that uploaded documents are accessible only to you unless you have changed your sharing settings or choose to invite others to view, comment, or edit documents. Ryerson's connection to the Internet is used by thousands of people at Ryerson and Computing and Communications Services (CCS) manages the network in ways that ensure someone transferring very large files will not slow down network performance for other people. When you store or access files on Google Drive, your files have to travel to or from Google over Ryerson's connection to the Internet. While you will be able to store files up to 5TB in size on Google Drive, working with files will not be as fast as working with them on your computer's hard drive. Having unlimited storage does not mean being able to access very large files at unlimited speeds. The only restriction on files is that they cannot be larger than 5TB in size (5,000 gigabytes). Now there is no limit to the total amount of file and email message space you can use. On October 30, Google removed that storage limit. Google Apps at Ryerson used to have a 30GB storage limit for your Google Drive files and Gmail messages.
