End of Google EDU shared drives (Team Drives) / accounts

[blackbox11]

Google have made some changes recently. If you notice, you can't upload files to your google shared drives (team drives) recently. You will find out that you will get user rate limit exceeded messages and can't successfully upload any files. The only way you can transfer file is by uploading to your main google drive then move it to the created shared drive. You can still copy files from one shared drive to the other. Below is the possible reason why it is happening.

From MsGsuite official Telegram channel:

1. You might have heard of Google enforcing new policies from now.

If you don't know the new policies, read below ( I will make it quick)

️ An organization (University) can only have max 100TB pooled storage including Shared Drives

️ By default new shared drives creation will be turned off on all edu user/ student accounts .

️ By default all user/ student accounts both personal and Shared Drives will be limited to just (100GB)

️ It doesn't mean the shared drives or the user account already created wont be affected, on January 23 these restrictions will be applied to each and every account, but later organization admins can change it .

2.How does it affect us ?

️ We already are seeing the affect. Uploads are getting restricted! And starting January 23 2023, more restrictions which google stated are anticipated.

3.Is this only happening to MSGSUITE Shared Drives ?

️ No its for all of the shared drives and education user/ student accounts.

4.Will creating more than one shared drive help ??

️ No it wont help, as it will still be counted under 100TB pooled storage, so there is no point creating 100s of shared drives to bypass 100GB restrictions.


5. This might be the end of EDU shared drives / accounts
