Effective February 3rd, 2025, there will be a 100 GB storage quota enforced on FacStaff H Drives. The following article provides the information you need to know about the storage quota, along with tips and tools to manage your storage.

Checking Storage Usage

On Windows:

From a UWF device on the UWF network:

Open File Explorer by clicking the icon shown below

Locate your H drive listed under "Network locations" (it should automatically be mapped to your device):

UWF Public Knowledge Base > Managing H Drive File Storage for Employees > hdrive.png

Right click on the H drive and select "Properties"
Your current storage usage will be shown next to "Used space"
- Please note that as the 100GB quota is not yet enforced, the "Free space" shown will appear significantly higher than what will be available after February 3rd

On MacOS:

First, follow the instructions listed on Network Drive Mapping for Mac to connect to your H drive
Once the H drive is mapped, Command + Click on the folder and select "Get Info"

Your current storage usage will be shown under "Used" as shown below
