Chapman University offers multiple options for cloud storage solutions, such as OneDrive and Google Drive. Below is a short comparison chart to help clarify the similarities and differences between both cloud storage solutions.

Important Changes to Google Storage

Last year Google announced it would end its long-standing policy of providing unlimited storage to higher education institutions. All universities will now have to limit the amount of data they can store in their Google instances. Please visit our Google Storage Change page to learn more.
