![]() Iowa State has contracts for storage with Microsoft ( OneDrive is included in the Office 365 package) and Box.com (branded CyBox). Google storage is the least used of three options available to ISU employees. When it does, individual account compliance would become irrelevant because Google looks only at total institutional storage. Google will enforce the 100 TB university quota, and Shuck said that will happen sometime after Jan. 3, employees can see their current use under "storage" in the left column of Drive. 3 a message across the top of their Drive site will alert employees who are near or over their personal storage limit. Any accounts exceeding that will move to read-only status until they meet the quota. 3, ITS will enforce a 3 GB quota for all individual Google Drive accounts. And, despite a yearlong messaging campaign to appeal to the largest storage users on campus, employees have been slow to move or delete files.Īs a strategy to meet the institution's quota, starting Jan. Here's the rub: University employees currently store nearly 275 TB in Google products: about 256 TB in Google Drive and more than 18 TB in Google Photos, said Jason Shuck, who manages the systems operations team in information technology services (ITS), which oversees data storage. Google set Iowa State's storage limit at 100 terabytes (TB), or 100,000 gigabytes (GB), with enforcement set to begin in January. ![]() Like other cloud storage providers, last year Google halted its policy of unlimited storage for higher education clients and put them on alert that quotas were coming. This means employees could download or read files, but they wouldn't be able to create or edit files. Unless it can reduce its data storage in Google Drive and Google Photos by more than 60%, the Iowa State community is about a month away from lapsing to read-only status for files stored there.
