For any file, folder, share, or volume on your server you can set a quota that limits the amount of data that can be stored. Quota Server is unique in that you can set different quota types for these objects:
An object quota is placed to provide an absolute limit on the amount of data saved, regardless of who saves there.
A user quota is placed to limit the space to individual users or groups.
A File Block Quota is placed to restrict the file types stored at a location.
Quota Server can automatically detect new folders and new users, and apply quotas based on templates that are easily configured.
