Disk quotas

Home Drive

Project Drives

These drives have quotas depending on the project. Normally this is about 50GB but may be much more for the larger groups.

FAQ

Q. I've run out of disk space, what should I do?

A. First of all, ensure that you're only storing files relevant to your work at DIDE. If it all is and you're still out of space, talk to your local IT Manager.

Q. I need a new project share, what should I do?

A. Email your local IT Manager and explain what you need and why.

Q. How do I know where I should be storing files?

A. The official Imperial College London guidance is here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/admin-services/ict/self-service/connect-communicate/saving-my-files/recommended-options/

Note that here in DIDE we have our own "home" drive (Q:) separate from the Imperial "home" drive (H:). Imperial will be phasing out their H: drive soon after all data is migrated to OneDrive For Business. In their storage matrix replace the H: column with Q: and the "Shared group space" column with our Projects drive to make it apply to DIDE.
