Frequently Asked Questions
What are the storage limits for my account?
In accordance with our Google Workspace licensing, Murray State has enabled the following storage limits
- MSU employees will have a storage cap of 200 GB
- MSU students will have a storage cap of 50 GB.
- All other accounts will have a storage cap of 50 GB.
How do I know how much storage space I have left?
Everything in your Google Mail and Google Drive counts towards your limit. Google has provided several tools to help you view/manage your storage
NOTE: Items in your Drive Trash and Mail Trash count against your limit. Even though items will automatically be deleted after 30 days, we recommend cleaning out your trash when trying to stay under your storage cap.
What happens if I go over the storage limit?
To maintain access to your Google Mail and Drive, you will need to stay under your storage quota. If your account runs out of storage, your services will be disrupted until you free up more space.
- Drive. You won’t be able to sync or upload new files. You will not be able to create new files in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Jamboard. Until you reduce the amount of storage you use, neither you nor anyone else can edit or copy your affected files. Syncing between your computer's Google Drive folder and My Drive will stop.
- Gmail. You'll still be able to send and receive email.
What happens to everything stored in my Google account when I leave Murray State?
Murray State Google accounts are maintained for current faculty, current staff, and current students. Once you leave Murray State, your Google account and all its contents are deleted after a certain period of time. This content includes contacts, email, Drive files, and so much more. We notify each person via their @murraystate.edu email address with a 30-day email notice letting them know when their account will be deleted so they can transfer their content and accounts.
NOTE: Retirees are only granted access to Google Mail upon their retirement. This access will continue as long as the account remains in use.
For more information on how long you will have access to your account, please see our Accounts, Usernames, and Passwords Guide - Account Durations article.
How can I easily download or transfer all of my content?
Google has provided several ways to transfer your content to another Google account, or to download your content for use elsewhere. Please note that the above options are provided by Google. Google may change or disable those services at any time. Murray State University is not responsible for transferring your content to another account or service.
