The account registration form and activation email include a terms of service statement.

• You ARE NOT allowed to create more than 1 account per Galaxy server.

• You ARE allowed to have accounts on different servers.

For example, you are allowed to have 1 account on Galaxy US, and another account on Galaxy EU, but never 2 accounts on the same Galaxy.

WARNING: Having multiple accounts is a violation of the terms of service, and may result in deletion of your accounts.

Need more disk space? - Review your [**User -> Preferences -> Storage Dashboard**](https://my.galaxy.training/?path=/storage) to find and manage all of your data. - Read about [more ways to free up space in your account]({% link faqs/galaxy/account_reduce_quota_usage.md %}) - [Contact the admins of your Galaxy server]({% link faqs/galaxy/support_admins.md %}) to ask about possibilities for temporarily increasing your quota.

Other tips: - Forgot your password? You can request a reset link in on the login page. - If you want to associate your account with a different email address, you can do so under **User -> Preferences** in the top menu bar. - To start over with a new account, delete your existing account(s) first before creating your new account. This can be done in **User -> Preferences** menu in the top bar.
