不良研究所

Students! Please read carefully since the information contained in this announcement will affect your ability to store files in your OneDrive account and may affect your ability to send emails from Outlook after May 31^st 2024.

Microsoft is introducing changes to our service offering across our Microsoft 365 Education suite that require us to place limits on storage.听As of May 31^st, 2024, students will have 20GB (Gigabytes) of OneDrive storage space, in addition to 20GB of Outlook email storage.

Why is this happening? 2023, 不良研究所 IT carefully reviewed the impact of the Microsoft storage reductions. The current storage calculation model indicates that 不良研究所 has already exceeded its allocated quota, necessitating 不良研究所 IT to reduce our usage gradually. Overall, the decision to reduce to 20G is based on minimizing student impacts for storage, while enabling 不良研究所 to have enough capacity to manage exceptions.听

Microsoft the changes across their Microsoft 365 for Education suite are driven by security risks, financial and sustainability considerations.听
