Each student account receives 15 GB of free storage with Google Drive. You can access Google Drive by navigating to https://drive.google.com.
What counts towards your 15 GB storage limit?
Files that you upload to Google Drive
Files that you own and/or create in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms
How can I check my Google Drive Storage usage?
You can check your storage usage at any time by going to the My Google Drive Storage page.
How will I know when I am approaching the storage limit?
Google will automatically alert a user at the top of the Google Drive window.
When your accounts storage is at 80% capacity, you will start to receive a yellow Storage Low banner.
When your accounts storage is between 90% - 100% capacity, the banner will change to a red Storage banner.
What happens when my Google Drive is at 100% capacity?
You will no longer be able to upload files to Google Drive
You will no lonnger be able to create Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms
Collaborators when opening a file owned by that account, they will receive a notification banner warning the user that the owner is over storage.
