Storage limits
Please notice: Google storage limits are coming to the OntarioTechU.Net account. More information will be shared in the next coming weeks.
As Ontario Tech is a customer, this new policy will apply to ontariotechu.net faculty, staff, student and alumni accounts, and specifically, will result in changes to individual and collective data usage and storage capacity on Google Drive at the University. More details regarding use, capacity and storage limits will be communicated to users in upcoming updates.
How does this impact me?
- As a result of this change, IT Services will implement a cap on storage limits for all faculty, staff, students and alumni ontariotechu.net accounts in accordance with the University’s policy framework and subject to consultation.
- In advance of these changes, we recommend that all faculty, staff, students and alumni review their current storage use and take steps to remove any files no longer required.
