> Also, we're paying about $200 / month total to store 100TB of data in the cloud, which is hard to beat with other services. You should expect this to go away soon. I support science researchers and our unlimited storage option is going away in the coming months. Options for purchasing space are limited, and not cheap.

How expensive are we talking? Looking at the workspace pricing page the enterprise plan gets you a pooled 5TB per user with the option to add more by talking to them, does that mean you have to pay more for the extra storage?

This is with a regular Google Workspace plan, independent of the university-wide research plan. The research plan unlimited storage is indeed going away for us as well ( https://itconnect.uw.edu/tools-services-support/software-computers/productivity-platforms/google-productivity-platform/uw-google-changes-project/ https://itconnect.uw.edu/tools-services-support/software-com... ), which is why we migrated to our own private Google Workspace. I haven't heard about the google workspace enterprise unlimited storage going away anytime soon, although perhaps you know something I don't?
