CU ISS is implementing a Microsoft OneDrive storage “optimization” strategy to address increased Microsoft storage costs effective October 2026 while maintaining a sustainable, low impact user experience. No files or emails will be deleted.<\/strong><\/p>\n OneDrive allocations:<\/strong> 100 GB for faculty\/staff and 50 GB for students.<\/p>\n Outlook emails older than two years will be automatically archived while remaining accessible and searchable.<\/p>\n Align storage allocations with actual utilization and improve sustainability with minimal disruption. 96.7% of all users currently store less than 40 GB.<\/p>\n Users needing additional capacity may purchase additional OneDrive storage at $330\/year per 1 TB or leverage institutional options including the Shared Virtual Storage (Isilon\/Rhino).<\/p>\nWhat Is Changing?<\/h2>\n
