ESS User Folder Quotas (Size Limits)
Overview
Each employee at 麻豆国产AV College is provided with disk space on the ESS to store critical documents and other data from their office computer. Each academic and administrative department is likewise provided shared space for employees within that department to share documents with each other. Collaborative space is also provided for employees who wish to share files with employees in other departments.
Initial quotas
Each employee at 麻豆国产AV is assigned an initial quota of 3 GB to store their own personal files and data. Each department and campus space is also assigned an initial quota of 1 GB.
Process for requesting quota increases
Requests for increases are handled by LITS on a case by case basis.
Individual employees or departments may request an annual increase in their ESS disk quota, in increments of 500 MB. Requests for space greater than 5 GB in size will be handled on an individual basis. A maximum of 10 GB of space per employee is allowed.
Additional ESS disk space is available on a temporary basis for special projects, research, or instructional needs. Any requests for additional space beyond the maximum limit will be referred to the Desktop Integration Services (DIS) teams for alternative arrangements. The requestor must provide a reasonable timespan for the increase to remain, not to exceed one semester.
Student use
ESS access will not be provided for students. The Student Storage Space (SSS) is already provided for their use.
