Google Workspace Changes

New Photos management and bulk-deletion capabilities coming to the admin console.

Later this year, Google will introduce new Photos management and bulk-deletion tools in the admin console for Education institutions. These tools will provide administrators with better visibility into which users have migrated their data and allow for proactive management of Photos content to help free up critical pooled Drive storage.

Google Takeout Transfer now supports Google Photos for Education users.

Users in Google Workspace for Education can now use Google Takeout Transfer to migrate their Google Photos content—including photos, videos, and albums—from their school or university-issued account to a personal Google account. This ensures that students and staff can preserve their personal history and creative work when leaving an organization.
