Additional Disk Quota for teaching/research purposes can be requested through your supervisor.
Generally, additional space beyond 1 GB is not allocated on a central fileserver. You will need to use your local computer instead.
If you have (or it is deemed appropriate that you should have) access to one of our computing clusters, arrangements can be made to give you a second home directory on the cluster in question, for storing data related to your work on that cluster. This is arranged on an individual basis between your supervisor, System Support and yourself.
If you only require temporary space, or space for non-critical data, you can be given some scratch space on an appropriate machine. This will not be backed up - so will likely be completely lost in the event of a disk failure.
