While your CAEN Home Directory is a convenient place for saving files and application data when working on CAEN computers, there is a 50 GB quota limit for total data storage.
This means that you may be unable to copy or save a file to your home directory if it is large enough that it would exceed the 50 GB quota. Unfortunately, CAEN cannot increase quotas for individual students.
If you run into an error message relating to your home directory quota or storage, you should first check your quota usage to confirm, and clear out some space as necessary. This could include deleting any unneeded files, or moving files to another location for archival.
