Running out of Google Workspace storage? This guide explains everything — how to check your usage, understand pooled storage, set storage limits, and free up space for your team. Whether you’re managing a small business or a school, gworkspacepartner.pk (through creativeON, an official Google Partner in Pakistan) is here to help you stay organized and save money.
Think of Google Workspace storage as your digital closet — but instead of clothes, it holds your emails, documents, photos, and team files. And just like any closet, it has space limits.
Your total Google Workspace storage is shared across three main areas:
When your organization uses Google Workspace, this storage becomes a shared digital space for everyone — not just individual users.
Your available storage depends on your Google Workspace plan:
Plan | Storage per User | Approximate Capacity |
Business Starter | 30 GB | ~6,000 photos |
Business Standard | 2 TB | ~400,000 photos |
Business Plus | 5 TB | Over 1 million photos |
Enterprise | 5 TB or more | Customizable |
Each plan scales with your organization, so as you upgrade, your total storage grows too.
Instead of giving every user their own separate space, Google Workspace uses pooled storage — meaning your entire team shares a common storage pool.
Think of it like a big office buffet instead of individual lunch boxes. Some people (like designers) might use more storage, while others (like sales staff) use less. As long as your total usage stays within the limit, everything runs smoothly.
Smart, flexible, and efficient — exactly what teams need.
