To our Campus Community,
As you know, we have all been working hard to reduce and redistribute our digital storage to mitigate the impact of Google’s change in storage costs for higher education. We are now in the final phase and need your help to ensure that your important institutional content is preserved. Content shared with you but owned by former UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff may be removed as we move forward, so we need you to identify and save these files that are essential to you.
Take Action
To prevent any unintended loss of your UC Berkeley data, we encourage you to review the content stored in your Google Drive promptly. The goal is to identify your critical documents to ensure continued access and protection.
- The following links will take you to search results of content in your personal Google Drive folder so you can review documents owned by others:
- If you see content that you need to keep, please visit our guide for steps to follow.
- If you have already lost access to institutional content that you need, we can recover the content if it was deleted in the past 25 days. Please complete this form to get started.
More Information & Help
- Watch these video tutorials to help you identify your content and manage your Google Workspace.
- Review helpful tips like reducing your Google account storage or moving your content to another storage solution.
- Contact the ITCS service desk if you have questions or need additional help.
Your involvement is critical in preserving important institutional content. Learn more about our progress, the new storage limits, and other planned changes on the project website.
