Effective January 15, 2024, the Department of Education (DepEd) will implement storage allocations for Google Workspace for Education accounts. This is in line with the new policies from Google and aims to optimize resource utilization while ensuring continued workflows.

2. The storage limits are as follows:

a. Employees, offices, and schools: 100 Gigabytes (GB)

b. Learners: 20 Gigabytes (GB)

Exceeding the storage limit may result in account limitations such as being unable to upload new files, modify existing files, and back up photos or videos.

Please be reminded that Google Workspace for Education access is provided in the interest of education and public service. The storage of personal files, copyrighted materials, or content unrelated to government business is strictly prohibited. Users are directed to delete unnecessary files and stay within the storage limits. Failure to comply with this policy may result in disciplinary action.

The Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS) and the Information Technology Officers of the Regions and Divisions shall monitor the consumption of their respective users and ensure compliance to the above-mentioned policy.

The ICTS reserves the right to delete unnecessary files, particularly those that have exceeded the storage limit, after due process.

Users can monitor the current storage usage and individual files through Google Workspace storage settings:

Downloading files before January 15 is encouraged to ensure smooth compliance with storage limits. Users may download their files using this link:
