upgrade plan of a single or multiple users (Non-Profit)

[Toby-Pratt]

Hello,

There are a few users in my organization (Currently Non-Profit) that require more than the 5GB cloud storage allowance and it seems that pooled storage for Non-Profits is not being enabled anytime soon soooooo...

I want to know if there is a way to upgrade to plan to Business standard for those select users without migrating our entire organization of 200+ users to the paid tier as only a handful are having storage related issues due to the 5GB limit?

Thank you in advance for any advise/insights regarding this issue.

Hello, the free nonprofit plan is supposed to come with 30 GB of storage per user. You made mention a couple of times of only having 5 GB/user. Is it truly showing only 5GB? If so, there might be a 5 GB user storage limit enabled on all of your accounts. You should be able to go into your Admin, https://admin.google.com/ac/storage , and then click "Manage" to browse the current state of your user storage limit(s), if they are enabled on or not, and take appropriate action. I would check that first.

My apologies, the allowance & limit is 30GB that users have reached. Everything I stated above is correct, just sub 30GB for the 5GB limited I incorrectly mentioned prior.

Ok. Well, sadly the answer to your original question is no as of this moment in time. It's all or nothing regarding the upgrade licenses. 

Here is a related topic on the matter, that you may want to follow/subscribe to. Many of us Non-Profit Workspace Admins are anxiously awaiting the official rollout of pooled storage.
