Faculty or staff may now create shared drives in Google Workspace by request for academic purposes only. The ability to create Google shared drives has been discontinued for students. Faculty requesting a new shared drive or staff making a request on behalf of faculty should submit an Google Shared Drive Request Form in Orange Tracker.
Newly created shared drives will have a storage quota of 20GB. This amount is subject to change.
It also is recommended that faculty back up their existing shared drive data and migrate it to another location that is better suited for university bulk storage. If existing shared drive data is not used for academic purposes, it could be subject to removal.
Google Workspace is targeted for academic use only. With a larger capacity, Microsoft OneDrive is the recommended solution for bulk storage.
