• Requests for more storage will only be reviewed for accounts who have identified specific education, research, or New School business projects needs for additional storage above their current storage quota.  

    Requests must minimally meet the criteria identified below, however, additional questions may need to be answered if the needs for additional storage are not clearly defined.

    Approval criteria:

    • Request for storage must meet a clearly defined education, research, or New School business projects need.
    • The requestor has less than 5% storage remaining in the account or Google shared drive they are requesting a storage increase. Requests that are made where the requestor has more than 5% remaining will be automatically declined.
    • Increase requests for archive accounts will not be approved.
    • The requestor has cleaned up the Google storage space of the account or Google shared drive by deleting old and unnecessary files and email and still requires more storage.
    • The individual making the request must have migrated older files to other storage spaces (i.e. OneDrive).
    • Other available storage options (including OneDrive and Shared Drives) do not meet the needs of the request.
    • We will also review if additional exemptions have been made for the individual making the request. If there have been additional exemptions, the individual must clearly specify why an additional exemption is needed above the one’s already provided. This may require a more direct conversation about overall storage needs.

  • How do I see how much storage I am using?

    Individual accounts

    You can view how much storage you are using by going to drive.google.com/drive/quota.

    On this page you will see how much storage you are using in both Google Drive and Gmail as well as your storage quota.

    Non-person Accounts

    Managers of non-person accounts can log into the non-person account directly to see the amount of storage being used by the account. Once logged in, you can go to drive.google.com/drive/quota to see the amount of storage being used.

    Non-person account delegates can see the amount of storage being used by accessing the non-person Gmail account they have delegate access to. You will be able to see the amount of storage being used at the bottom of the non-person account inbox where it says "Using xxGB".    

    Google Shared Drives

    Google Shared Drive Managers can see the amount of shared drive storage they are using by going to the shared drive and clicking the information or "i" icon in the top right. This will expand with details of the shared drive which will include the amount of storage being used by the drive.
