Summary of the new policies (effective June 1, 2021):
– If you’re

members who are within their storage quota and in
good-standing< www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEyOz_yvogSZtzpAOMD9GMRQwXh9x_u3cl36GTet6qOeliX5QpbvPKQLBoZDeFlGxPpKgTVnYpgW2dPIwjz5e62W0xUPwRZzZoLvGjiC1b4mc-LgiJxlzDCGSyw1REtb6OGghA>
will not be impacted by this new inactive policy.
– If you exceed your storage limit for 2 years, we may delete your content
across Gmail, Drive and Photos.
What this means for you:
– You won’t be impacted by these changes unless you’ve been inactive or
over your storage limit for 2 years. As this policy goes into effect June
1, 2021, the earliest it would be enforced is June 1, 2023.
– After June 1, 2021, if you are either inactive or over your storage
limit, we will send you email reminders and notifications in advance and
prior to deleting any content.
– Even if you are either inactive or over your storage limit for one or
more of these services and content is deleted, you will still be able to
sign in.
– Note: The inactivity and over quota storage policies will apply only to
consumer users of Google services. Google Workspace, G Suite for Education
and G Suite for Nonprofits policies are not changing at this time, and
admins should look to the Admin Help
center< www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnExQpV6Dyf0_spyutiPngCCPugklxjsDamoaHm3ml2_Y5gy6k837uG5wqJ1a7yJSgaDnapDY6xymR20s7JDyxyXE3s5dIq0JdOfc8Ulam7czHHzLYoVWt3yzDBl_NQ>
