How to increase storage for Google Workspace Legacy free subscription

Problem

You are currently under a Google Workspace Legacy free subscription, and your Google Drive add-on storage has expired, and you don't see any renewal options.

Environment

  • Admin console
  • Drive storage
  • Subscriptions

Solution

This works to product specification, as Google Workspace no longer offers individual subscriptions for storage, however here are some workarounds.

Upgrade to paid Google Workspace subscription
You can upgrade your current Legacy free subscription to a paid subscription of Google Workspace, which offers significantly more storage.
  1. Access the Google Admin console.
  2. Navigate to Billing > Add or upgrade subscription.
  3. Click on Google Workspace > select the desired edition > click on Switch.
Note: Depending on the edition the prices may vary, for more information please visit this page.
