Bringing it all together for Google Apps customers: 30GB shared between Drive and Gmail
Monday, May 13, 2013
Cross-posted with the
Google Enterprise blog
Life gets a bit easier when your Google Apps products work well together -- whether that’s
inserting a Drive file into an email
or sharing Docs and photos
from
Drive on Google+
. As that experience becomes seamless, having separate storage doesn’t make as much sense anymore. So over the coming weeks, you’ll get 30 GB of unified storage to use as you like between Drive and Gmail. Just as before, files created in Docs, Sheets and Slides don't count against your storage quota. Storage will also be shared with photos you upload to Google+ larger than 2048px.
With this new combined storage, you can use your storage how you need to. If your business or school is like most, you know how many important emails and attachments you receive every day. As a result of today’s storage change, Gmail inboxes for Google Apps customers are no longer limited to 25 GB -- any additional storage you purchase can be shared and used by Gmail. Or alternatively, if you’re only using a few gigabytes of email storage, but have a lot of large documents and files stored in Google Drive, you can now use your storage primarily for Drive.
If you want to know how you are using your storage, check out our recently updated
Google Drive storage page
. Simply hover over the pie chart to see a breakdown of how your storage is being used across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos.
This update will roll out to Rapid Release domains over the coming weeks.
