NOTE: Changes to Google Services

Starting May 17, 2022, Exchange Online will be the official university email for all IU students. Gmail at IU will be retired. Find out about changes to student email at IU.

Currently, the creation of Google Shared Drives is restricted to the following options:

  • for users who want to pay for storage in Google

Existing shared drives will continue to work normally. For more, see About storage in Google at IU.
