Someone wrote a program last Thursday that uploaded over 20,000 files of random data, possibly as an honest experiment to see if the cloud data server had a limit on file size. It doesn't have any limits, and the entire disk filled up! I had to delete those files to get things running again.
At some point we may need to implement some form of simple authentication to avoid such problems. However, I hate to put barriers in the way of easy exploration and discovery, so I'll hold off until it becomes necessary.
