Storage+

Advanced storage controls for your domain

Google  Workspace offers a first line of visibility into your domain’s storage.  However, there are no tools to then make decisions and take action on files within the domain and make notification of end users with storage concerns.  Storage+ is that tool to provide additional control for domain system administrators.

With Storage you’re able to:

  • Find the largest files in your organization
    Find the largest files in your school district and then take action with Storage.
  • Delete drive content
    With Storage you can move files to the trash, schedule them to go to the trash, or delete them instantly all with just a couple of clicks.
  • Find and fix duplicate content
    Do you have duplicate files on your Google Drive taking up storage space? Storage allows you to quickly find duplicate files and then delete the additional copies all while maintaining access and editing rights.
  • Move files to Google Cloud Storage
    Have files that you need to archive? In only a couple of clicks you can move files from Google Drive to Google Cloud Storage, freeing up space in drive and providing a spot for storing and archiving your data.
  • Transfer Files
    While the Google Admin Console allows you to transfer the entire contents of a user’s Google Drive, Storage lets you select and transfer only the relevant files. Imagine that you need to transfer the files of a recently retired counselor to the school’s new counselor. Besides the files in question, the user’s Google Drive may also include personal photos, tax return information (and social security numbers), employee evaluations and more. With Storage you can share only the appropriate information and prevent accidentally sharing personally identifiable information (PII).

We offer flexibility to choose
what’s right for your organization.
