UCR Faculty,

Microsoft and Google have announced they are moving away from unlimited and
low-cost online storage offerings, significantly altering storage models
for higher education institutions like UC Riverside.

As a result, UCR must make changes to its Microsoft and Google services to
ensure the University’s storage needs continue to be met in a fiscally
responsible way.

*How does this affect me?*

   -

   Academic personnel will retain access to Google Workspace storage
   services (R’mail, Drive, Photos, etc.); however, you will need to adhere
   to the new Google Workspace storage quota

   of 100 GB by June 1, 2024. It should be noted that this quota affects
   very few faculty. Learn more.

   -

   Any academic personnel currently utilizing Microsoft O365 storage
   services (Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, etc.) should be advised that
   changes to O365 services are forthcoming, and action may be required to
   reduce storage to meet new storage quotas. Learn more.

   -

   These new storage quotas affect alumni, and alumni account cleanup is
   currently underway. If an alumnus shared files with you, it is
crucial to take
   steps now

   to save any data you wish to keep. Learn more.

diverse transformations for the University. I want to assure you that ITS
