When the storage quota exception is removed on June 30th, 2025, any files in the Google Shared Drive still using more than 15 GB of storage will become read-only.
Storage usage in a Google Shared Drive can increase or decrease rapidly in a short period. There is always a chance that the storage data we pulled before sending the notice to you could be inaccurate. If you confirm the current usage is below 15 GB, then tell us to remove the storage exception if you want. Otherwise, the storage exception will be removed automatically on June 30th, 2025.
The storage quota exception does not go away once you are using below 15 GB of storage. If you would like us to remove the exception, provide us with the name of your Google Shared Drive and that you want us to remove the storage exception. Once the exception is removed, the quota will be set to the default amount of 15 GB, and you will no longer receive notices about storage exceptions for that specific Google Shared Drive.
If your shared drive is already set to 15 of storage quota, and you are now using under that amount of storage, there is no further action you need to take. You can verify storage usage and quota using the instructions here.
You are welcome to delete it. But if you want to keep the shared drive for future use, and it still has a storage exception, we can remove the exception.
Get approval from your local IT or department and request that we add your shared drive(s) to a paid group. OIT will combine all your OUC/departments' over-quota shared drives into one bill starting next fiscal year.
