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. ITS will migrate your existing emails and your calendar into 365.
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.
ITS will migrate your data for you if you are under 15GB. Students who are over this limit will be notified through email. They may reduce their storage or manually migrate their data themselves.
Files that are stored in services outside of your Google Drive storage, like Google Photos, will not migrate and some features, such as links and sharing permissions, will not persist. Learn what will, and won’t, migrate by reading this knowledge base guide.
You may want to create a record of the files that have been shared with you in Google. To do so, please follow this guide: Create Record of Files Shared with me in Google
