#### NYU (Google) Drive
Google Drive ([NYU Drive](https://www.nyu.edu/life/information-technology/communication-and-collaboration/document-collaboration-and-sharing/nyu-drive.html)) is accessible from the NYU HPC environment and provides an option to users who wish to archive data or share data with external collaborators who do not have access to the NYU HPC environment.

Currently (March 2021) there is no limit on the amount of data a user can store on Google Drive and there is no cost associated with storing data on Google Drive (although we hear rumors that free storage on Google Drive may be ending soon).
As of December 2023, storage limits were applied to all faculty, staff, and sutdent NYU Google accounts. Please see [Google Workspace Storage](https://www.nyu.edu/life/information-technology/about-nyu-it/key-projects-and-initiatives/google-workspace-storage.html) for details

However, there are limits to the data transfer rate in moving to/from Google Drive. Thus, moving many small files to Google Drive is not going to be efficient.
