Your home directory quota cannot be increased. You should consider deleting, [transferring](https://www.osc.edu/resources/getting_started/supercomputing_faq#file%20transfer), and/or [compressing your files](https://www.osc.edu/resources/getting_started/supercomputing_faq#compress%20files) to reduce your usage.

A PI may request project space to be shared by all users on a project. Estimate the amount of disk space that you will need and the duration that you will need it. Send requests to [oschelp@osc.edu](mailto:oschelp@osc.edu).

See the [Allocations and Accounts](https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/getting-started/allocations-and-accounts) section for more information.
