The end of free Google storage for education
- wildrhythms 5y ago>In place of all you can stash, each institution in the scheme was getting a total pool of 100TB to give to student and teacher alike. Lol... so a university with 30k students can allot each student approx 3GB of storage. The commercialization of higher education like this is a problem that should not exist.

They should collectively build they own open source solution rather than relying on Google, Microsoft, Dropbox et al. No excuse for ceding responsibility for your main mission, even if it is convenient. I’m at a large university and we cede responsibility left and right to Microsoft and others. I often think our IT staff feel compelled to cover their … for the sake of their careers. I can understand the anxiety.
