Yeah. I guess when you promise a perpetual account to all students for life, that adds up quick. New policy is 5GB for active students faculty and staff, and 1G

> As of November 2021, UTmail is utilizing over 6.4 PB of pooled storage. However, due to a change in the G Suite storage policy, Google will implement a 545 TB pooled storage quota.
> Of the customers impacted: 70,000 are students, faculty, and staff, and 200,000 are alumni and retirees.
Edit: just read the help files closer and turns out that alumni and retirees lose Google Drive entirely -- 1GB is just for email.
- Tijdreiziger 5y ago> over 6.4 PB O.o I guess I never really think about the scale these systems operate at. Actually, considering that, the fact they give you 15GB on a free consumer account must add up to at least many hundreds of PBs?! I guess storage is cheap and/or targeted ads make a lot of money!
- hiptobecubic 5y agoThe scale is really astounding. You're underestimating.
