How can I check my Google Storage?

Check your Storage

To see how much storage you’re using, click here: Check my Google Storage Usage. Make sure you’re logged into your UMBC Google account.

Where does my storage number come from?

• Storage is comprised of data in Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. This includes items in your Spam and Trash!

• Google Photos is being deprecated for all UMBC accounts. If you have photos stored here, please migrate them as soon as possible.

Please Note: When you first delete an email, file, or photo it will be moved to the trash. Gmail, Drive, and Photos all have their own trash, which still counts against your storage use. Storage in use by items in trash will be reclaimed once the items are permanently deleted. Items in trash are automatically and permanently deleted after 30 days. While in your trash, items can be recovered before the 30-day time window. You can also choose to manually and permanently delete items in your trash at any time by navigating to the “trash” folder and clicking either “Empty Trash” to remove all items in trash or by selecting individual items and selecting “Delete Forever”.
