Each user has a project-independent home directory. The storage limit of the home folder is fixed at 10 GiB. We recommend to use it as the folder where you host any scripts you want to keep to yourself. Users are encouraged to share their data elsewhere, see our Data Sharing Suggestions. All data on /home is backed up. In the case of ‘accidental’ deletion of any data inside the home folder, you can retrieve the data by following the example here.
