Google Workspace for Education & 100 GB Cloud Storage Provisioned for Durham University Digital Identity Holders

The Digital Infrastructure Group at Durham University has announced the full provisioning of Google Workspace for Education paired with dedicated 100 GB Google One cloud storage allocations for all active degree candidates. By issuing every student an authoritative institutional @durhac.uk digital identity, the university ensures frictionless access to Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Forms, and Google Meet.

The 100 GB cloud allocation is engineered to support data-intensive degree requirements—such as large genomic datasets, raw audio/video recordings for qualitative sociological research, extensive bibliography repositories, and multi-gigabyte virtual machine snapshots.

"Cloud infrastructure is the bedrock of modern borderless education," remarked the Director of IT Infrastructure. "Providing high-throughput, redundant storage guarantees that our students' critical academic work, capstone code, and doctoral research portfolios are protected against local hardware failure and accessible anywhere in the world."

Students can inspect the full portfolio of cloud storage solutions and collaborative utilities provided by the institution on the official Software & Digital Tools Overview.

Access your Google Workspace services and manage storage allocations directly through the Student Portal Software Hub.
