Google announced significant changes to Google Workspace for Education which affects Biola’s use of Google storage and the Google services. Historically, Google provided the free service for Educational customers with an unlimited number of users and unlimited data storage. Starting July 2022, Google will switch Educational customers from free unlimited storage to a storage limit of 100 TB. The first 100 TB are free, the rest we need to pay for.
