Hi all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please check your Google account to see how much storage you are currently using. I suspect most of us exceed the 100GB limit. The email says it will affect very few faculty, but I doubt it. If you aren’t concerned about the limits, you don’t
need to respond. But if you are, please respond and let me know what your current storage is.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks, patty</div>
