I exceeded the storage quota in Files, what do I do now?
The culprit here will likely be Powerpoint files that contain images or other multimedia. A single Powerpoint can often take up most of the storage quota, easily exceeding 200 mb in size. A file this large takes a long time to download.
To reduce the file size, try one of the following:
1. Under the File menu in most versions of Powerpoint, there are options to compress the included media files. See the link below for more detail.
Microsoft help site (Links to an external site.)
2. Save the file as a PDF
3. Save the file as a Powerpoint Show.
Options 2 and 3 have the added benefit of reducing the dependence on a proprietary piece of software.
