Google Drive Quotas - coming July 1, 2025
Dear Faculty and Staff,
In response to Google imposing data storage limitations on our campus, Cal Poly Humboldt is implementing updated storage quotas for all faculty, staff, and student accounts.
After collaboration with a variety of campus groups and advisory committees, ITS will be implementing the following quotas on July 1, 2025. The most notable aspect of this proposed quota system is that current faculty and staff will not be required to further reduce their Google storage usage.
