Dear Campus Community,

A reminder that, starting on January 6, we’ll be setting a temporary limit of 150 GB per person on Google Drive storage to help manage space while we work on a long-term plan.

This proactive step will help us stay within Google’s storage limits moving forward. Don’t worry, if you are over the 150 GB limit now we’ll give you a bit of extra space, ~10%, to keep everything running smoothly during this transition.

If your Google storage is currently over this limit, please start reviewing and deleting any files you don’t need from Google Drive, Google Photos, and Gmail. For simple steps to reduce your storage use, check out our Google FAQ page. 

We’ll provide updates on long-term solutions, including permanent quotas, by Spring 2024. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the ITS Help Desk at (707) 826-4357 or help@humboldt.edu.

Thank you for your support as we navigate Google’s storage limits on our campus and develop lasting solutions!

Sincerely,
The Google Storage Optimization Team
