Email Service: You will use Gmail until the end of the Spring 2024 semester. ITS will begin to transition the service to Microsoft 365 once the semester concludes.
File Storage: Two main milestones impact your storage:
As of 2023, you have a 15GB storage limit on your Google Workspace account. The majority of students are well below this limit. If you go over the limit, you will be able to send and receive emails and view your files; you will not be able to edit existing files or create new ones.
Along with your email service, your files will be moved to OneDrive in Microsoft 365 in the spring/summer of 2024. OneDrive, which is similar to Google Drive, will be your new storage location for files. Most files will migrate from Google Drive to OneDrive and the file extension will change so that you can use the files in Microsoft. ITS will migrate these files for you.
Some files, like photos, will not migrate and some features, such as links and sharing permissions, will not persist. View the suggested workarounds.
