Data Storage
You can store your data in the Standard Storage (NII Storage). NII Storage is limited to 100 GB per user and less than 5 GB per file. The storage per user allowance is consumed from the project creator’s capacity.
You can use either the Standard Storage, as well as Extended Storage, which can be optionally add-on setup by the users on a project-by-project basis. For example, you can connect and use external storage services such as QRDM, OneDrive, and Google Drive.
