Google Workspace - Viewing Your Storage Use

Overview

Google has implemented limits on the amount of storage available to Higher Education institutions, including Texas A&M University. In order to optimally utilize the available storage, all students, faculty, and staff of Texas A&M should manage their Google Workspace storage regularly.

Your Google Workspace storage includes all data in your Texas A&M Gmail, Photos, and Drive applications.
