Our approach will be to contact the users with the highest storage levels on the service and we will work with them to move the data to the Research data store, providing as much support as possible in the actual move across and administratively. I’ve attached the paper circulated back in March for context (the totals have already started to come down) but if you have any more questions specifically, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Many thanks, Will.
