Unlimited storage has been phased out
- Google storage quotas were implemented June 1, 2024.
- To address your shared drive storage quota, please submit a Google Storage Question or Request ticket
Drive is a good solution for:
- Accessing your Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms from one place
- Organizing your Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms into folders and sharing those folders with your collaborators
- Sharing other kinds of files with limited numbers of collaborators
Shared Drives are shared spaces where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device. Unlike My Drive, files in Shared Drives belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done.
