You should expect this to go away soon. I support science researchers and our unlimited storage option is going away in the coming months. Options for purchasing space are limited, and not cheap.

This is with a regular Google Workspace plan, independent of the university-wide research plan. The research plan unlimited storage is indeed going away for us as well ( https://itconnect.uw.edu/tools-services-support/software-com... ), which is why we migrated to our own private Google Workspace.

I haven't heard about the google workspace enterprise unlimited storage going away anytime soon, although perhaps you know something I don't?

How expensive are we talking? Looking at the workspace pricing page the enterprise plan gets you a pooled 5TB per user with the option to add more by talking to them, does that mean you have to pay more for the extra storage?
