Good morning! We're just starting to allow Sites, and I need good instructions on using Custom Domains. What all is needed to get this working? The instructions only specify the TXT record, but our InfoSec guy said "I am not able to create a TXT with the same name as (subdomain).uga.edu since that ...

RE: Invoicing for additional storage

We let people purchase T&L licenses, which gives us 100GB per license. I created a "100GB Shared Drives" OU with the obvious 100GB quota applied, moved the Shared Drives into this OU, and that gives each Shared Drive in it a 100GB quota. We no longer allow people to create Shared Drives; this must be ...

My school doesn't use chat, but in my personal gmail account, all my old hangouts chats are accessible in gmail under the left menu heading of "Chats". Is there a similar thing in Workspace gmail? Because if there is, I'd assume it counts as gmail storage. Jay Nordmark (he/his/him) Systems Administrator ...

Since switching to Fundamentals, we have all user accounts lumped into one OU. All of our users have the same Drive quota. I created new OU's for Shared Drives, since their quotas are very different than user quotas. Jay Nordmark (he/his/him) Systems Administrator Associate EITS - Systems Engineering ...

Months ago, we sent notices to Shared Drive Managers letting them know that Shared Drives were being discontinued and they needed to pursue other options. We turned off the ability for users to create Shared Drives. We then discovered that T&L (Teaching & Learning) licenses give the university as a ...

If anyone has Colab enabled, can you tell me what happens if a user opts to get Colab Pro or a pay as you go option? I went in as far as the prompt to enter a credit card (NOPE), and wondered if that purchase is restricted to the particular user, or if it would apply to the entire university? Would the ...

Allan, At least you can set their Drive quota to 0. That should let them view documents they have shared with them, but not allow them to add to your storage limit. Jay Nordmark (he/his/him) Systems Administrator Associate EITS - Systems Engineering University of Georgia jnord@uga.edu

Good question, Ben. We're going to disable Shared Drives since there is no current solution to this. There is also a lack of built-in reporting capability on these. You can't export the Shared Drive list, and what I really needed was a report I could download that shows the Shared Drive name and all ...
