    Reminds me of when I had about 3 or 4 TB in my schools storage because hey free benefit

    They removed the education free unlimited storage during my senior year and blocked access to my supposedly permanent school email because I didn’t reduce my storage usage lol

      I mean it’s technically permanent as long as your organization continues paying for the license

      Of course, they could downgrade your license or revoke it at any time. And they definitely will revoke it when you graduate (so they can reallocate the licensing costs to new students).

      Your work/school accounts don’t belong to you.

        Forgot to mention but my school advertised permanent access to our school email, which back then meant free student benefits like the education unlimited storage. I technically still do have access, but it’s a lot less useful nowadays

        Google just went back on that education unlimited thing because they realized it was not sustainable, so my school had to enforce it somehow
