Google Storage Solutions
Over the allocation – How can I reduce my storage usage?
We encourage you to sign into your Fordham Google accounts and begin deleting and/or transferring files to other storage services as soon as possible. This is a great opportunity to revisit your digital space, streamline and organize your digital files, and make room for what's truly important—you might even rediscover some forgotten gems!
