What are the quotas for Berkeley Google accounts?

All newly created accounts on or after January 25, 2023 will be given a 150 GB quota. Also on January 25, 2023 existing accounts will have higher “containment” quotas applied to provide ample time for their content to be assessed while maintaining day to day operations. These quotas are simply to contain the growth of our Google storage usage on campus. We will be implementing lower quotas later in the project, and we are still determining the final quotas. More specific dates and guidance will be provided closer to the fall semester of 2023.
