A reminder from Ball State University Information Technology was sent out through the Communication Center about new storage limits for One Drive.
The limits are a part of Microsoft’s revised agreements with universities resulting in Ball State’s OneDrive storage reduction. Starting this summer, storage quotas for all accounts will be reduced and alternate online storage solutions for campus will be provided. Accounts will be capped at 3GB.
Existing student, faculty, and staff OneDrive accounts will gradually be reduced to 3GB, with larger accounts receiving a temporary cap of 10% above current usage. Those using less than 3GB will be set to 3GB of storage quota. Temporary quota increases will be granted during the transition period. Example: If you are currently using 100 gigabytes (GB), your new quota will be 110 GB.
All new faculty, staff, and student accounts will be automatically capped at 3GB.
IT is currently working to establish alternative storage options for large files (i.e. video files). If you need an increase in OneDrive storage during the transition, complete this form to request additional space.
It is suggested you start preparing now and IT offered the following advice:
- Check your current OneDrive storage. On the OneDrive website, view the storage used at the bottom of the left side navigation.
- Delete old or duplicate files.
- Remove all personal files. Storing personal files in Ball State cloud storage is not permitted.
