UW-Madison Box - Quota notifications

Starting June 15, 2020, UW-Madison Box accounts will no longer have unlimited storage. Storage caps will be applied to existing and new accounts. Learn more about this change on the Box Evaluation Project page. If you have any further questions about this change, visit UW-Madison Box: Contract & Quota FAQ

This document explains the purpose of a UW-Madison quota notification and recommended steps to take if you receive a notification.

Quota Notification

If your UW-Madison Box account has less than 10 GB of available storage, you will begin to receive a quota notification on a weekly basis until your account has more than 10 GB of available storage. Once your account has more than 10 GB of available storage, you will stop receiving notifications.

Please note, the quota notifications are not spam or phishing.
