# Managing your files in Sandbox

### Recommended way of storing

We recommend that you use your own Sandbox, IVM and its home disk to store any files, data, and results that do not need to be shared with other researchers working in the same Sandbox with you.

Your IVM files are stored in /home/ivm. You can[ control the size of this disk](/working-in-the-sandbox/running-analyses-in-sandbox/managing-memory-in-sandbox-and-data-filtering-tips.md#resizing-home-disk) on the page where you select your IVM type and start your sandbox.

### Shared objects

For files, data, and results that need to be shared with other users working in the same Sandbox with you, you can use /finngen/red for sharing, however, please note that there is only 1TB storage space in /finngen/red for any given Sandbox. Read more about sharing in finngen/red [here](/working-in-the-sandbox/quirks-and-features/sharing-individual-level-data-within-the-sandbox.md).

You can read more about how to share data between Sandboxes [here.](/working-in-the-sandbox/quirks-and-features/sharing-individual-level-data-within-the-sandbox.md)
