After determining your organization’s total storage volume, make a plan so you are not caught off guard when the 100TB storage limits are imposed.

The Teaching and Learning Upgrade will provide an additional 100gb per staff licenses and will be available by staff licenses ordered by the organization. The new editions launching on April 14th will also receive additional storage. If you are current subscribers of G Suite Enterprise for Education (now Google Workspace for Education Plus), you will get an additional 20gb of storage per student license. The total amount of cloud storage allocated to Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals organizations is 100TB. Vault storage is not counted in the storage limitation. The storage is total for the entire organization, not by individual users. That doesn’t mean you should not review your data storage hygiene as it may have a future impact on your organization. Google expects this will only impact 1% of organizations. Since the change is scheduled for July 2022, there is ample time to plan for the impact. After you’ve reached the max storage allocation per domain (100TB), you will need to curb your cloud storage usage or procure a paid Google Workspace edition.

Starting in July 2022, schools will be given 100TB of combined Drive, Gmail, and Photos storage for free. Unlimited cloud storage was previously available for G Suite for Education organizations.

These updates and timeline are written as of 2/17/21 Google Workspace will stop unlimited, free storage starting July 2022 During the Learning with Google Event on February 17th, Google Workspace announced significant changes coming to unlimited cloud storage.
