CDW Amplified for Education’s Gopher for Drive provides a quick and easy way to understand storage consumption in your domain and gain insights into your largest footprint users. Like our other Gopher tools, Gopher for Drive is a Sheets add-on.
With Google Workspace limits, now is a great time to monitor user and domain usage to see where you land on the usage scale. Monitoring your utilization, especially overutilization will help you know where to curb your cloud storage usage.
Gopher for Drive gives Super Admins the power to generate reports on:
- Overall storage used within the org as an aggregate
- Total storage used by up to 100,000 individuals
- Detailed individual storage usage
- All shared drives within the organization
- Shared drive file details
The reports can be filtered by file type and size, giving you the power to drill down on file types/sizes of concern on the domain, in shared drives, or per user. For example, if you want to see only video files over 200 MBs on a specific drive, you can do that with the Shared Drives Usage Report. You may want to see all files over 200 MBs and run the same report but include all file types.
Storage Amounts Included/Not Included on Reports
Google counts Drive, Gmail, and Photo storage toward your Workspace limit. To help you accurately gauge your utilization toward that limit, Gopher for Drive reports on the same storage.
Note: Files less than 1 MB do not appear in the reports; you'll see those in the aggregate.
When you're ready, install Gopher for Drive.
