How do quotas work?

Body

Quota limits are imposed on all network storage: U drives, network share drives, and employee email. These limits have been applied to track usage progression for planning purposes and ensure everyone has equal access to network storage resources. As all VIU users (faculty, staff and students) share these network resources, it is important that everyone makes efficient use of the available space.

Default Quota Limits

  • Exchange Online: Active Employee, Retirees and Affiliate Email accounts: 100GB
  • Exchange Online: Generic Accounts, Shared Email and Resource Mailbox accounts: 50GB
  • Network Shares: 10GB (per user)
  • Student U Drive and OneDrive: 10GB
  • Employee OneDrive: 5TB
  • Employee U Drive: 10GB
