Hello Administrator, We will be implementing a new pooled storage model for Google Workspace for Education starting in July 2022, for all existing customers. The purpose of this email is to help you understand the new storage policy. What does this mean for my organization? New Google Workspace for Education Storage Policy In July 2022, the new storage model will provide educational organizations with a baseline of 100 TB of pooled cloud storage shared across all of your users. For reference, 100 TB accounts for more than enough storage for over 100 million docs, 8 million presentations or 400,000 hours of video, This mode! also allows storage to be easily managed across the entire domain, offering institutions better control over their storage experience on Google Workspace for Education You also have the option to purchase upgraded Google Workspace for Education editions, including Education Plus or the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, which both add storage capacity to your existing baseline pool. If you're interested in piloting or purchasing the new Workspace for Education editions, please connect with your Google for Education point of contact or your preferred Workspace for Education partner. Customers who sign a three-year Education Plus contract in 2021 or customers currently on legacy Education Plus full-domain subscriptions (G Suite Enterprise for Education) who continue to renew their subscription through 2023 will have an additional 18 months after July 2022 (through EOY 2023) to use as much storage as they need, What do | need to do? ‘We strongly recommend you calculate your domain storage so you can decide whether Purchasing a new Workspace for education edition is the right choice for you.
