Storage allowance
Each person has a storage allowance — 5 GB by default, set by the administrator — covering everything they upload: project and team files, datasets, message and post attachments, and figures. Settings → Activity shows how much of it is used; deleting a file gives the space back. Full texts the platform fetches for you do not count.
Display name and e-mail
Your display name is shown everywhere; changing it in Profile updates projects and messages. The e-mail address is changed under Security and, once verified, requires approval from the current address.
