I have scanned my images at 150dpi and they have a size of 260 x 260 (in pixels).
It appears to me that on average my scan sizes are approx 13kb each. (Some are as low as 7kb, some as large as 22kb). I highlighted 150 scans in my scan folder and the total size of all of those scans was 1.88 meg.
If a user requests additional disk space, I will on a case-by-case basis review those requests. I figured 2 meg was enough to disk space to launch the service for each user and planned on evaulating that as we go.
There are a couple of reasons why I have done this. The main reason that I have limited the amount of disk space per user is to prevent someone from filling up my server's harddisk with large files. (Either by mistake or on purpose).
Good question. Thanks.
Brian
