Usage Guidelines

Data Storage

All users start with 50 GB of storage within the CSU TIDE JupyterHub (see campus-specific information otherwise). Users are responsible for managing the storage they’ve been allocated including deletion of large, unused, and/or temporary files (e.g. ML model checkpoints, old git repos, virtual environments).

If users require more storage than the default amount, please check out the Storage Services section.

Disclaimer: TIDE currently has no storage that is suitable for HIPAA, PID, FISMA, FERPA, CSU Protected Level-1, or protected data of any kind. Users are not permitted to store such data on TIDE machines.
