Approach: Data Governance • My Sites to replace personal drive shares • Available storage: • Site quota = 500 MB • File size < 100MB • Vault items don’t count towards site quota • File types to avoid: • Access databases • Files with dependencies, e.g. linked spreadsheets • Media files • Source control • Files > 100MB
