Thanks for the suggestions, Jason. I will consider Goodle Drive / Dropbox for large files. I agree that we work primary on binary files (DOCX texts) and these are not stored efficiantly. We have worked through SVN for years and this is the first time to hit the quota and we just started to think about this.
Thanks to Lennard too for the quota increase.
