Allocation of storage space by quota administrators

  • Quota administrators receive a notification about a request to increase storage space by 25%.

  • The request is reviewed (at least 75% of the quota for the project must already be used).

  • After successful review, additional storage space is allocated.

  • You will receive an email notification within a maximum of two weeks confirming or rejecting the increase.
