See → What should I do if my data exceeds the given 250GB of storage? - #2 by jennaj
Welcome, @Josh
The function is brand new. We would love feedback about it. Let’s use this topic to gather that from you and others 
The UseGalaxy.org server (only for now) has a brand new feature that will help when processing larger amounts of data →
Scratch Space
Go into your User > Preferences, and click into the Preferred Storage Location for one way to set this up. All new datasets will use this global storage setting.
Scratch space grants 1 TB of temporary short-term storage space to everyone, and you can move data between the original long term and to this new short term space.
The temporary short-term storage is cleared after 30 days. Your original long-term storage of the 250 GB default remains unchanged.
Brand new so no tutorial yet – instead, just notice the little database icons and see the tool tips directly in the app. You’ll figure out how it works
