On January 3, 2024 Syracuse University will discontinue availability of Google Photos as a supported app in the g.syr.edu domain Google Workspace. Google Photos is primarily a personal photo backup and storage system with no known ( or limited) use-cases, for teaching and learning, in the g.syr.edu domain. Google Photos consumes the same storage as Google Drive, competeing for the, upcoming, individual storage quotas. There is no way for the university Syracuse University Google admins to manage or control space usage that is allocated in Google Photos. This action is recommended by the Google's Workspace account team, for Education plans, with many universities already disabling the application. Please see see Google Workspace - Changes to Storage Limits for detailed information on upcoming, individual storage quotas.
