Google Workspace Professional Administrator — Question 16

You are a Workspace Administrator with a mix of Business Starter and Standard Licenses for your users. A Business Starter User in your domain mentions that they are running out of Drive Storage Quota. Without deleting data from Drive, what two actions can you take to alleviate the quota concerns for this user? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Add other users as “Editors” on the Drive object, thus spreading the storage quota debt between all of them.
• B. Manually export and back up the data locally, and delete the affected files from Drive to alleviate the debt.
• C. Make another user the “Owner” of the Drive objects, thus transferring the storage quota debt to them.
• D. Perform an API query for large storage drive objects, and delete them, thus alleviating the quota debt.
• E. Move the affected items to a Shared Drive. Shared Drives transfer ownership of the drive item to the domain itself, which alleviates the quota debt from that user.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct actions are C and E. By making another user the 'Owner' of the Drive items, the storage quota is transferred to them, alleviating the original user's storage concerns. Moving items to a Shared Drive also mitigates the quota issue because the ownership is transferred to the domain, thus not counting against the individual's quota. Options A, B, and D do not effectively resolve the quota issue for the original user without deleting data.
