This article explains how to handle a full Moreland University Google Workspace / Google Drive account and how to request or obtain additional storage.
Summary This article covers the available option for requesting additional storage and practical steps to free space so you can continue uploading and submitting work.
Can I request additional storage for my Moreland University account?
- Additional storage for university-provided accounts is not available.
How to free up space and regain upload access
- Identify large or unneeded files
- Review your Drive for old files, large attachments, and unused documents.
- Delete files you no longer need
- Permanently delete items from Trash to reclaim storage immediately.
- Transfer files to a personal storage location
- Move files to a personal Google Drive or another storage service to free space on your university account.
- Verify storage usage has decreased
- After removing or transferring files, confirm your account storage is below the limit so you can resume uploads and assignment submissions.
Recommended workflow when storage affects assignment submission
- If you cannot upload due to storage limits:
- Quickly delete or transfer enough files to allow the assignment upload.
- After freeing space, attempt the upload and submission again.
Troubleshooting tips
- If you still cannot upload after deleting files:
- Empty your Trash to ensure deleted files are removed from storage usage.
- Re-check which files remain and repeat the identify/delete/transfer steps until sufficient space is available.
Conclusion University accounts cannot be increased with additional storage. To restore upload capability, delete unnecessary files or transfer them to a personal Google Drive or other storage provider; once storage usage is reduced, you should be able to upload and submit your work.
