Google Drive Storage via Eliapps

Google Drive is a cloud service for file storage, document editing and sharing. All members of the Yale community with an Eliapps (Google Apps for Education) account have access to storage in the associated Google Drive account. Moreover, Eliapps users can request Team Drives, which are Google Drive shared spaces where all files in a Team Drive belong to the team instead to any individual. Researchers can transfer data into their Google Drive space using Globus. Please note - as of August 2023, the EliApps Google accounts are limited to 5GB of free storage with an option to purchase more, as necessary. Please visit SharePoint Collaboration Counts page for more information.
