Google Kills Individual Storage in Free G Suite Accounts
2025-03-18
Google is ending individual storage allowances for its legacy free G Suite accounts, switching to pooled storage shared across all users starting May 1st. This affects users who've kept their accounts since Google stopped offering them in 2012. While the total storage remains the same, users needing more will have to pay, though Google promises a discount. Admins can set individual user limits to prevent hoarding. This change, initially announced in 2022 and then reversed, simplifies storage management but adds extra work for admins preferring the old system. It benefits groups wanting to share unused storage.
