Drive Quotas

You can set a drive quota to limit drive space for each user or group. You can also set a threshold. If the drive space
exceeds the set threshold, an email notification will be sent. To configure email notifications for the drive quota,
refer to the "Email Notification" section in chapter 7.
Notes:
• When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder often. The limited space includes the space
used for trash.
• Quotas apply per drive or per array. If a quota is set to 1 GB, each array or drive can use a maximum of 1 GB.
• Quotas cannot be set for external drives connected to the TeraStation.
• If both user and group quotas are configured for a user, the most restrictive quota will always apply.
