Notification of Capacity Restrictions on Google Drive, etc. (My Drive)
We are currently using the Google Workspace for Education service for educational institutions to provide storage services on Google Drive and other platforms.
In alignment with changes to the storage policies made to Google Workspace for Education by Google, restrictions will now be placed on the use of the hereto unlimited storage space (data storage space for Google Drive and Keio University Mail, etc.).
Due to the fact that exceeding the overall available capacity will have a direct effect on usage throughout Keio, each individual user will be allotted a capacity limit on the hereto unlimited storage space as listed below. If your capacity limit has already been exceeded, you are requested to reorganize your files before the deadline to ensure that the space used falls below the allotted limit.
Schedule for the Start of Capacity Restrictions
Scheduled to be reflected back systematically from March 15, 2023
Setting will be reflected sequentially after the setting is switched.
My Drive Limits
Limits | |
---|---|
faculty members | No restrictions ※ |
Students (including correspondence course students) | 20GB |
staff members | 5GB |
Storage restrictions will not be enforced for faculty members for the foreseeable future, but it is expected that restrictions will be required in the future, so you are requested to reorganize all unnecessary data and move it to other storage areas.
