15.2 Managing and Restricting Filr-Based Storage

Disk space usage almost always increases over time. You can limit on the amount of data that can be uploaded to Filr’s shared storage disk at the system level or for individual users and groups.

Only files count toward the data quota. Empty folders don’t count. Files in Net Folders don’t count.

You can limit the amount of disk space for individual users and groups as well as for individual folders.

Path: Port 8443 Filr Admin Console Management > Personal Storage

Best Practice: Plan whether personal storage disk space restrictions are required and implement your plans here.

Worksheet 11 - Personal Storage

IMPORTANT:Data quotas at all levels are strictly enforced. If uploading a file would cause a user to exceed the assigned quota, Filr rejects the upload attempt and the attempt is aborted. This is also true with data quotas that are set on folders.

When a file is added to a shared folder, the size of the file is attributed to the quota of the user who uploaded the file.

Table 15-2 Using the Personal Storage (data quota) dialog

Field, Option, or Button	Information and/or Action
Enable User Data Quotas section	Worksheet 11 - Personal Storage (Enable User Data Quotas section)
Enable User Data Quotas	NOTE:Data quotas only apply to personal storage. Enabling Data Quota Enforcement Select this to enable Enforcement of the default data quota for all unlisted users and groups And Enforcement of the data quotas shown for the listed users and groups Specify a high-water mark for both the default data quota and the quotas set for users and groups. Disabling Data Quota Enforcement Deselect this to disable all data quota enforcement.
Default User Data Quota Size	This applies to users who do not have another data quota (user or group) that applies to them. Default is 100 MB.
Default High-Water Mark	When a user exceeds the data quota high-water mark (the default is 90% of the applicable data quota), a warning message displays on the user’s profile page informing the user that he or she is approaching the data quota. Filr displays how many kilobytes of disk space are still available.
Add a Group button	IMPORTANT:Group quotas override default quota settings. If users belong to more than one group, they are assigned the highest quota to which they are entitled through group membership. Click this to add a group of users. In the Group field, start typing the name of the group for which you want to set a quota, then click the group name when it appears in the drop-down list. Repeat this process to add additional groups for which you want to assign the same data quota. In the Quota field, specify the disk space limit for the group. Click OK, then click Apply > Close to save the group data quota settings.
Add a User button	IMPORTANT:User quotas override default quota settings and the settings on any groups to which users belong. Click this to add an individual user quota. In the User field, start typing the name of the user for which you want to set a quota, then click the user’s name when it appears in the drop-down list. Repeat this process to add additional users for which you want to assign the same data quota. In the Quota field, specify the disk space limit for the user. Click OK, then click Apply > Close to save the user data quota settings.
