(Q2) What is the individual capacity that can be used?
(A2) The capacity limit will be gradually applied from March 15, 2023. The total capacity of My Drive (Drive and Keio Mail) will be as follows: Faculty: No limit, Students: 20GB, Staff: 5GB.

(Q3) Will advertisements be displayed? And will email and other data be used for the purpose of marketing etc.?
(A3) Gmail provided by Google Workspace(formerly G Suite for Education) has an interface identical to that of services for the general public, but it is completely different from such systems in that it does not display advertisements. Please do not worry about this, because email and other data are not collected or used for advertising purposes, and advertising profiles are not prepared based on this data. (For details, see the explanation in G Suite for Education (formerly Google Apps for Education) FAQ - G Suite Admin Help.)
