Issue/Question
Google has implemented a storage limit for Education customers. To get Oregon State University use under the limit, and remain there we need to limit the amount of data we have in Google. In order to reduce the OSU foot print, a limit of 10GB is being rolled out (See Google Drive - Storage Caps ).

Explanation
This article provides options for reducing your Google Drive usage.

To assist in the Migration, you can use Microsoft Migration Manager to copy your Google Drive data to OneDrive. The specific tool you will want to use is the Transfer Wizard, which will walk you through connecting to Google Drive as the source and OneDrive as the destination.
