Disk Space and File Storage

The Carmen team is invested in making sure that Carmen runs smoothly and quickly for all users. Toward that goal, we monitor file sizes in Carmen and may enforce disk space quotas for accounts that house large files.

Following are basic guidelines for determining when files should be optimized or hosted outside of Carmen:

PowerPoint and PDF files should always be optimized before being uploaded to Carmen. See File Optimization/Accessibilty for details.
Audio and video files exceeding 10 seconds run time should be converted to streaming format and hosted on the streaming server. See Working With Other Media Sources for more information.
