Google Storage Limit: 100GB

Google has implemented a Google Workspace storage limit for school districts. Click HERE to learn more. Because of this, we have set a *100 GB storage limit for each staff member’s Google account. Please check your own storage use on the left side of your Google Drive. We recommend that you periodically clean up your files/emails and remove any that are not necessary. Here is a Guide to Google File Cleanup that you can use to help with the process. If you do not want to purge files, you can save old/unused files onto an external hard drive. Please remember that student data should NOT be moved onto an external hard drive unless it is encrypted.

*If you had over 100 GB in your Google account at the time we set the limit, we set a higher limit for you as a temporary courtesy. Please work to bring your Google account below 100 GB by the end of this school year.

Adobe Express Access (formerly Adobe Spark)

Adobe Express offers a suite of tools that allow students to easily create products that showcase their learning such as simplified websites, videos, and presentations. At the end of this week, we will be enrolling all staff and students in the free Adobe Express suite, which will allow you to use the "Continue with Google" sign-in option. Please see these simple login instructions and/or learn more about Adobe Express here. You also may receive a welcome email from Adobe. If you’d like support in planning a lesson using this tool, please submit a helpdesk ticket and EdTech will be happy to schedule a time to meet with you!

*NOTE: This is an optional tool that several classrooms already use. Mass enrolling all ECSD users will ensure easy access for all students and staff.
