users can restore deleted Contacts and Calendar events within 30 days after the deletion.

The retention workflow is essentially the same as for email messages

deleted Google Drive, Shared Drives files and (entire) Shared Drives can be recovered within <55 days.

After they're removed from the Trash, Google keeps them additionally for 30 days After they're deleted emails are placed in the Trash label where Google keeps them for 30 days unless the Trash is emptied earlier.

deleted G Suite emails can be recovered within <60 days.

With standard G Suite recovery you are limited to 30-60 days before data is permanently deleted: For example, if the shared drive is shared with 6 groups containing 500 people each, the behavior is that the first 2500 people added (from the first 5 groups of 500 people), will see the shared drive, but then the shared drive will be hidden for the final group of 500 people because they were added beyond the 2500 limit.In short, the chances of restoring G Suite data using standard Google recovery heavily depend on how much time has passed since the items were deleted/lost.

If a shared drive is shared indirectly with over 2500 people.

For example, if a shared drive is shared with a group that has 1200 users, for 200 of them, the shared drive will be hidden by default.

If a shared drive is shared directly with a group that has more than 1000 people in it.

This is to avoid spamming large groups with shared drive content.

Note: Shared drives are automatically hidden for group members once they reach a certain number of members. You can still access the other shared drives using the direct URL, or search for specific files and folders in the shared drives. Shared drives listed in Driveĭrive lists up to 1,000 shared drives in the left navigation. File sharing limitsĪ file in a shared drive can be directly shared with a maximum of 100 groups. If someone is a member of multiple groups that are members of the shared drive, they only count as one individual toward the 50,000 individuals. The new individual brings the total members to 201, which is below the 600 member limit. However, you can still add an individual. For example, if you add 100 groups and 100 individuals as members to a shared drive, you can’t add another group as a member because that would exceed the 100 group limit for shared drive members. Within the 600 member limit, a maximum of 100 members can be groups. Total individuals (individual accounts and group members) Total members (groups and individual accounts added as members) Some virtual file types, such as files that link to files in other external storage systems, can’t be added to shared drives. The maximum individual file size that you can upload or synchronize is 5 TB.

Uploads that are in progress will complete. Users who reach the 750-GB limit or upload a file larger than 750 GB cannot upload additional files that day. Individual users can only upload 750 GB each day between My Drive and all shared drives. When using Drive for desktop, you can’t move a folder from My Drive to a shared drive. Instead, organize content into multiple shared drives. Members might have difficulty organizing and finding content. We recommend that you avoid creating many folders in one shared drive. Folder nesting and movingĪ folder in a shared drive can have up to 20 levels of nested folders. Search for 'Manage shared drives' and review the Item cap column. If you're a Google Workspace administrator, you can see how close a shared drive is to the item limit in your Admin console.
