If real-time collaboration in Google Workspace isn't essential, consider alternative storage solutions supported by the university. For research storage, Oak, GCP, and AWS Glacier are the preferred choices of many at Stanford. Assess your needs and review features and pricing. When you're ready, prep your data for migration.
