Google is offering students using its Apps for Education
unlimited space on an upgraded Google Drive. Previously, students could access
30 GB of space, but the unlimited offer will make it possible to store files as
large as five terabytes, according to the company.
Along with the storage space, all files are encrypted
for security. Students are also able to access the Google Apps Vault, an add-on
tool that allows users to organize their files and assignments.
Google sees the service as a virtual locker for
students. It also provides the company an opportunity to interact with users before
they start looking for similar services they would be required to pay for after they graduate.
