You have to either email it to me or put it on a cloud storage space of some sort. You can’t send me your TIFF files from Intro to Digital Photography to my hard drive. But hard drives are not as efficient from an online class perspective. In addition to the alternative cloud storage options suggested by ITS, students and professors can also purchase personal harddrives, as was pointed out by a user on Instagram. One of Lee’s student’s is already over a terabyte of storage in Google Drive and is “panicking.” Thus, her Fredonia Google Drive contains around half a terabyte of files - again, OneDrive offers one terabyte of data. Lee filled a work-issued laptop she got in 2017 with a 256GB storage twice. Another advantage of Google Drive is that professors and students can share folders with each other, which allows students to critique their peer’s work even in a remote course, according to Lee.Īlthough it is possible for Lee to transfer files from Google Drive to OneDrive, it will take quite a long time. High quality photo files are too large to upload to OnCourse directly, but the option to link to Google Drive in OnCourse submissions allows students to still upload huge files. Liz Lee, a VANM photography professor of Fredonia for 22 years, heavily relies on Google Drive to teach her classes. This announcement has varying levels of impact on different departments. One user commented on the seemingly simple solution of moving files to a hard drive. Nine users expressed frustration at the thought of organizing and moving files, including two self-identified alumni. The results: 46% (22 users) voted for “very much over 20GB,” 19% (9 users) voted for “close to 20GB” and 35% (17 users) voted for “well under 20GB.”Īn open-ended question on alumni and current students’ thoughts on the soon-to-be implemented storage quota was posted on the Instagram story as well. The Leader asked Fredonia alumni and current student followers through an Instagram poll ( if their Fredonia Google Workspace accounts were over 20GB. See “ What you need to know: SUNY Fredonia Google Workspace storage reduction and account deletion.” This will be effective Jand impacts current students, professors, faculty, alumni and emeritus. Reading Time: 5 minutes Questions asked via The Leader’s Instagram recently announced a reduction in the storage limits of Google Workspace for Education accounts from unlimited storage to 20GB.
