Hello everybody,
As you may have heard, Google education users get unlimited storage on their accounts, meaning that in our university Gmail accounts (name@mail.tau.ac.il) we have unlimited storage space. (I even found students online claiming that they uploaded a few Terabytes of data without any problem).
In order to use this unlimited storage efficiently, you can download Google’s Backup and Sync tool, which allows you to transform your google drive to a backup-storage folder. After you download the tool and link it to your university account, you will be able to choose folders from your computer that will be automatically backed up to your drive after each change/update in these folders.
It is working perfectly and smoothly for me, as the only issue was that the initial upload to the drive took few days due to the slow upload internet speed and the large amount of data.
