Welcome to the [**Douglas Neuroinformatics Platform (DNP)**](about_the_platform/index.md) documentation.
```{warning}
**Home folder quota: 300 GB**
+
Home folders should be used for code, configuration files, and small test files.
+
**All imaging and project data must be stored in shared/project storage locations, _not_ in your home folder.**
-Each user’s **home folder is limited to 300 GB**.
+**General Rules for system Use:**
+
1. Ensure data integrity by not sharing your login credentials.
+
2. Choose a low-use machine. The command 'who' lists users, and 'htop' shows system usage.
+
3. For bulk data transfers, connect directly to cicss05 to bypass any round-trip data transfers.
+
4. Avoid using your '$HOME' folder for data storage. Utilize your project's '/data' folder instead.
+
5. Refrain from using 'sudo'. If you're following instructions that need it, its time to ask for help.
