Account Quota
Each account type is assigned a different amount of quota as listed below. If your advisor has his/her own space, you may request for your account to be moved there. This may result in a higher quota. Please check with your advisor for details.
If you need more space, please try using the Student Extra Space (not backed up). You may also send a request to helpdesk with an explination of why your current quota is not sufficient.
