Storage space is finite and expensive. For this reason, space allocated to each laboratory is limited by a quota. Once the quota of a folder is reached, users stop being able to write in it. If this happen while saving files, it may lead to data corruption and lost of data. Some tools will give a warning or an error message but other won't. **It's the user's responsibility to make sure there is enough space to write in the folder.**

We are currently developing a tool that will allow each user to check the quota allocated to a given laboratory/platform/home folder, and the percentage of this quota currently used.
|
|
|
In the meantime, for their home folder, users can check the disk usage and therefore calculate how much space is left before to reach 100GB.

For laboratories and platforms quotas, users can contact the [Bioinformatics team](contacts).

Once logged in to the mass storage, you'll be in a folder called your "home". This home folder is accessible only to you. It is organised with a \_SHARE_ folder containing links to all the shared project folders you have access to as well as to some shared resources. A complete view of the tree can be found [here](mass-storage/mass-storage-full-structure-home).

Beside this \_SHARE_ folder, a user's home directory can also contain folders and files the user doesn't need to share with anybody.

Beside this \_SHARE_ folder, a user's home directory can also contain folders and files the user doesn't need to share with anybody. It is recommended however to not store data in the home folder and to store all files/folders associated to a specific project in that project's folder. So most users will have very few files and folders in their home, if any.
