UConn faculty, staff, and students have 500GB of storage on their UConn SharePoint sites. You can check your storage usage through the SharePoint Website.

> 📝 Every site has 500GB of available storage. But how much space is this really?
> 📝 
> 📝 1GB (gigabyte) is 1,000MB (megabytes)*.
> 📝 
> 📝 For reference: a standard 4-page Word document, without any pictures, is less than .05MB, and you have 500,000MB available.
> 📝 
> 📝 *Depending on the computer system, the values above are expressed as either 1,000 or 1,024. This does not affect your usage of SharePoint or your computer.
