Getting started

Requesting more storage space

Requests for more storage space is made on a case-by-case basis:

  • Undergraduate students: storage limits will only be increased for undergraduate students if a specific course requires it, in which case your course tutor should liaise with the IT Services Systems Group.
  • Postgraduate students: if you're a postgraduate student, ask your supervisor to email the IT Services Systems Group sgq@essex.ac.uk on your behalf.
  • Staff: if you're a member of staff, email the IT Services Systems Group sgq@essex.ac.uk.
