UConn faculty, staff, and students have 5TB of storage on their UConn OneDrive for Business accounts. You can check your storage usage through the OneDrive application or OneDrive Website.

Through UConn, all users have 5TB of storage available to them.

1TB (terabyte) is 1,000GB (gigabytes)*. 1GB is 1,000MB (megabytes)*.

*Depending on the computer system, the values are expressed as either 1,000 or 1,024. This does not affect your usage of OneDrive or your computer.

Check how much space OneDrive is occupying on your computer

  1. Open OneDrive

    1. Windows: by clicking the OneDrive cloud icon on the right side of your taskbar.
