Hello community, tks for your help and comments.
Context: Client in Business Starter with 17 accounts. (Previously in GSuite Basic)
The domain director and administrator purchased 1TB of GSuite storage for his account only.
He did this in order to create a single place to organize his company's documents, he created a folder and shared it with the entire domain (16 accounts), granting permissions to folders by areas or topics.
Some people have reached their maximum storage capacity (30 GB), however the documents should mostly be in the shared folder (administrator property) and not in their Drives of each user, in such a way that it does not take up space in your accounts.
The question I bring to this community is the following:
It is clear that, when a user uploads a document to MY DRIVE the property belongs to him.
When a user uploads a document to a shared folder, to whom does this storage count, to him or to the owner of the folder?
I made a test and despite the fact that the user placed documents in the shared folder, they continued to count space for him. It stopped accounting for storage until the user changed the ownership of the document to the administrator and owner of the folder.
Is there a way to automatically set the ownership of the documents to the administrator and prevent users from occupying their assigned space?
Greetings and thanks
PD: of course we're trying to sell Business Standard version but, the client don't have a budget at the moment.
