Speaking of quota control...
This feature allows the definition of a standard storage size for the folders on the platform, as well as for the private user folder.
The quotas defined here are standard. However, it is possible to define specific values per folder and per user. For folders, it is possible to define a value for each one, changing its properties. In this case, the quotas follow the folder hierarchy, that is, the secondary folders of a folder will inherit its quota and all posts made, both on the parent folder and in the secondary ones, consume the space quota for the parent folder. In order to assign specific quotas for the secondary folders, it is necessary that the quota of the parent folder is unlimited (value 0), as well as being necessary to change the quota of secondary folders to unlimited when assigning storage quota for a folder that has secondary folders with defined quotas. More information is available in the alternative path Add New Folder - Advanced, under Add New Folder. It is also possible to define a value that is different from the standard for My Documents folder for each user in the Users’ directory.
It is possible to define whether publication will be blocked or not when the folder reaches its maximum allowed size.
It is also possible to view a report containing information on each folder, its quota, the total used and the total available for use.
