The latest news on changes related to Google GSuite at the University

Your 1GB Quota is here

Your Google Drive account now has a quota which is made up of your existing Gmail storage used plus 1GB to cover Google Drive and Photos. You will need to manage this the same way you'd manage a personal Google account to keep under the quota limit.

Left the University?

If you leave the University then you must move your Google Drive contents (including Google Sires), Photos (and deleted the photos afterwards from your University account) before you leave. If you don't remove all your videos and photos in Google Photos then the University will need to delete your account (email, drive and photos) to recover the storage you're using - there is no other way.

Where do I fit?

  1. Make sure you are logged into your University Google account (if you are logged into your personal account it will show "out of 15GB" when you do the steps below)
  2. Go to https://drive.google.com/settings/storage
  3. Add up the amount in Google Drive and Google Photos (ignore Gmail)
