1. Log in to UW-Madison Box with your NetID and Password.

2. Click on the Project Directory folder.

   

   • Quick tip!
     A Project Directory folder can be identified by the folder owner's name. If the name of the folder owner starts with "Prj_", then the selected folder is a Project Directory. If the folder does not start with "Prj_", then the folder is not a Project Directory.
   
   
   
   

3. Confirm you are viewing the Project Directory's parent folder, not a sub-folder, to get an accurate view of the Project Directory's folder storage usage. Viewing the sub-folder storage usage only reflects usage for that sub-folder, not for the entire Project Directory.

   • Quick tip!
     Compare the folder name and the folder owner's name to determine if you are looking at the Project Directory's parent folder. If they match, you are viewing the parent folder. If they do not match, you are viewing a sub-folder.

   • Example 1: Project Directory parent folder
     
     Parent folder name: Test Folder
     Parent folder owner: Prj_Test_Folder

   • Example 2: Project Directory sub-folder
     
     Sub-folder name: Vacation Photos
     Sub-folder owner: Prj_Test_Folder

Note: The remaining steps below assume you have access to and are viewing the Project Directory's parent folder. The steps below are not recommended for those who only have access to sub-folders.

1. On the right side of the window, look for the sidebar menu and click on the Details tab.
   
   

2. Under Details > Size, you can view the Project Directory's storage usage, but not the storage limit.

• • Note: The storage limit for all new Project Directories is 50 GB.

Counted towards your storage usage

• Folders/files owned by your account.
• File Version history. Each version of a file also consumes storage in your account.

Not counted towards your storage usage

• Folders/files in your Trash folder.
• Shared folders/files that are owned by a collaborator, not by your account
  • Example: If you are an Editor on a folder, the folder and its content will not count towards your storage usage.
• Folders/files stored in a Project Directory.
