## [Do I need to pay to store data on the mass storage ?](mass-storage/mass-storage-costs)
|

No you don't. However, if you you want to know more about mass storage costs, or if you are applying for a grant for a project that will generate more than 1Tb of data and would like to help improving and increasing the capacity of the GIGA mass storage, please read the [mass storage costs page](mass-storage/mass-storage-costs) of this documentation.
|
|
|
The majority of the costs of our current mass storage have been covered by a FEDER grant obtained by the GIGA. However, some operating costs are not covered by this grant. Moreover, the mass storage is filling up very quickly and we need to buy extensions.
|
|
|
For all these reasons, the GIGA decided to give to each research team a certain amount of free space on the mass storage, and to charge any additional space used by them.
|
|
|
The revenues from these fees will be used exclusively for costs linked to the mass storage management and extension.
|
|
|
You'll find more information about the mass storage costs and the billing system on the [mass storage costs page](mass-storage/mass-storage-costs) of this documentation.
