Error message: DPSCloud Profile Management - profile only has xx% free space remaining

The above message indicates that you are running out of space on your personal profile and should either move or delete any unnecessary files. Failure to do so may result in you being unable to login to the system.

Deleting Unnecessary Files

Using Windows Explorer you can delete or move unnecessary files to either OneDrive or your companies storage.
The most common file locations where data may reside are:

  • Desktop

  • Downloads

  • Documents

  • Emails – Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted items

  • Google Chrome Cache

  • Pictures

  • Music

  • Videos

  • Lastly, empty your Desktop Recycle Bin

If you are deleting data be sure to empty the recycle bin to free up space.


Move your data to OneDrive

Your Office 365 OneDrive account provides you with plenty of space to use for your data which you can access from any device, anywhere. OneDrive storage is private and secure and can be utilised by following the steps below:

  1. To access OneDrive from the DPSCloud hosted desktop, browse to onedrive.live.com and login if prompted.

  2. Click Upload and select files or folder depending on what you want to upload. File Explore will open and you can select the files you wish to upload.

  3. Once you have confirmed they are uploaded you can then remove them from your DPSCloud desktop.

For more information about OneDrive and how to access it from other devices, visit the Microsoft Website.


Move your data to Company Storage

You can copy your data to your company storage location which is normally mapped to a drive letter like F: or G: and is accessible via Windows Explorer.
