Quota Increase Requests

ATTENTION: The temporary quota extension for Google Drive Storage is EXPIRING.

All UCLA Google Workspace users and shared drives must be within their Permanent Baseline Quota – or approved storage limit tier, for eligible affiliation groups – by April 7, 2026.

All users must take immediate action to ensure compliance.

All UCLA Google accounts that are not within their approved quota by April 7, 2026 will experience service interruptions.

If you have questions or concerns regarding your account, contact help@it.ucla.edu.
