While You are a Student

Google Storage

A 15 gigabyte (GB) cap was applied to student Google accounts in June 2022 unless the account was over 15 GB at that time. Nearly eight in ten students had only a few GB of storage, and nearly nine in ten used less than 15 GB.

Monitor how much you have stored in your Cornell Google account. (If you have a personal Google account, make sure you're looking at the Drive Storage page for your Cornell account by clicking your profile icon in the upper right. Your Cornell account is the one using your netid@cornell.edu email address.)

Reducing files you no longer need to have in Google will help Cornell keep its overall storage within sustainable levels, but you are not required to do so if your Cornell work requires it. See Google-suggested options to reduce storage size.

As You Approach Graduation

Your Cornell Google account will need to be below 5 GB by the November after you graduate, when your status with the university changes to alumni. This means you will need to reduce your Cornell Google account below 5 GB after your studies conclude.
