Full Quota

Here are some ideas to reduce your disk space if you are close to your file quota.

Firefox Cache

One of the things that will take up a lot of disk space is your Firefox cache. To make sure this doesn't happen:

• In Firefox, go to Edit, Preferences, click on the Advanced tab, and then select Network tab. Under "Offline Storage" put 0 for MB space for cache.

Other things to look for:

• Remember that engineering accounts are for academic purposes. It is not for MP3's, movies, humor programs, etc. Items of this kind can be burned to a CD if you need to retain them.

How do I increase my quota?

• For Students:
  Each student is allocated 6GB of disk space. Students who need more space should have their professor contact ENS and state the reasoning for more disk space. ENS will inform both the student and the professor when and if the disk space is increased.
• For Faculty:
  Faculty are allocated 1GB of disk space. If they need additional space, the charges are as follows:
  • For 5 GB increments:
    $26 for four years
    $24 for two years
    $23 for one year
    $22 for one semester
  • For 25 GB increments:
    $49 for four years
    $41 for two years
    $33 for one year
    $30 for one semester
  To rent disk space, please send an email to ENS with the amount of disk space required, the duration for which it is required and the account number to which it can be charged.
