In February 2021, Google announced<\/a> it would be phasing out the unlimited and free storage allocation previously available to schools and universities that use Google Drive. Instead, it will offer a base amount of storage for a fixed fee and a charge for additional storage. An initiative is underway to support the university’s transformation to a new Google service. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Here’s how to add a send-as address to your Gmail account:<\/p>

Important Note:<\/strong> The method for adding a send-as address depends on whether it’s another Gmail address you own or an address from a different email provider.<\/p>

Adding another Gmail address you own (Google Workspace account):<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Open Gmail<\/strong> on your web browser.<\/li>
  2. Click on the Settings gear icon<\/strong> in the top right corner and select “See all settings”<\/strong> from the dropdown menu.<\/li>
  3. Click on the “Accounts and Import”<\/strong> or “Accounts”<\/strong> tab (depending on your Gmail version).<\/li>
  4. In the “Send mail as”<\/strong> section, click “Add another email address.”<\/strong><\/li>
  5. A pop-up window will appear. Enter the name<\/strong> you want recipients to see when you send emails from this address.<\/li>
  6. In the “Email address”<\/strong> field, enter the full email address<\/strong> of the additional Gmail address you want to send from (e.g., [email address removed]). Treat as alias:<\/strong> This option is usually checked by default. It means that replies to emails sent from this address will be delivered to your main Gmail inbox.<\/li>
  7. Click “Next Step.”<\/strong><\/li>
  8. Google will need to verify that you have access to the new email address. You’ll receive a verification email at that address.<\/li>
  9. Open the verification email and click the link<\/strong> to confirm ownership.<\/li>
  10. Once confirmed, you’ll be able to choose the newly added address when composing emails.<\/li><\/ol>

    Adding an address from a different email provider:<\/strong><\/p>

    1. Generate an App Password:<\/strong> You’ll need to create an app password for your non-Gmail email account. This password will be used by Gmail to connect to the external server.
