Hello @andy_laprie

The FROGs tools is a bit special due to licensing reasons and cannot be hosted at the other public Galaxy servers for now.

**Things to try**

Only load the data necessary for the current task?

The [UseGalaxy.fr](http://UseGalaxy.fr) servers offer several cloud data provider connection choices. These include options like Dropbox and Zenodo. Go into your **User → Preferences → Manage Information** view to see the available choices at this server. [More is at the top of this guide.](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/what-should-i-do-if-my-data-exceeds-the-given-250gb-of-storage/13193)

If you data isn’t in the cloud yet, you could stage your work at a different public Galaxy server while you work out a longer term data plan. 🔀 How to move [data between servers](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/histories_transfer_entire_histories_from_one_galaxy_server_to_another.html)

And, you can request more short terms data storage space.

We needed to add the [UseGalaxy.fr](http://UseGalaxy.fr) and [metagenomics.UseGalaxy.fr](http://metagenomics.UseGalaxy.fr) servers to our guide, so I am glad you asked and I hope this helps! 🙂
