Personal filestore

All staff and postgraduate taught students are allocated 10GB of personal filestore. Undergraduate and INTO students are allocated 5GB. Research staff and postgraduate research students are allocated 50GB. This is held on central servers in a secure, environmentally controlled area, and regularly backed up. Since the storage allocation is held centrally, it can be accessed from any UEA machine, or when off site. Staff and postgraduate research students can extend their personal filestore by 10GB and there is a charge for this service.To register a request for extra personal filestore, contact the Staff Helpdesk with these details.
