Important Update from Google:

Starting October 13, 2020, Google Drive is making a change so that its trash behaves more consistently with the rest of our G Suite services with regards to automatic deletion. This means that any file that is put into Google Drive’s ‘My Drive’ trash will be automatically deleted after 30 days. Items in the trash will still continue to consume quota.

Any files already in a user’s trash will remain there for 30 days. After the 30-day-period files that have been in the trash for longer than 30 days will begin to be automatically deleted.

Google Drive is an online document creation, collaboration tool, and the primary cloud storage solution for the NJIT community. Google Docs is built into Google Drive File Stream. The Google Docs collaboration suite includes Documents, Presentations, Spreadsheets, Forms, and Drawings. 

Use Google Drive File Stream to access all your cloud Google Drive files on your computer. Google Drive File Stream will allow you to access your files on demand and save storage space on your hard drive. If you used Google Drive on your computer you were notified about the change. To install Drive File Stream click here.

Use Google Share Drives to store, search, and access files with a team.
