Portal-defined quotas can be enforced on edge filers. Quotas are defined on the portal at the following levels:
- Portal level
The provisioned plan for the portal includes the storage quota for that portal. - Cloud drive folder owner Level
The cloud drive folder definition includes the option to restrict storage to the storage allocated to the folder owner, which is set in the provisioned plan for that user, Owner Quota: - Cloud drive folder level.
The cloud drive folder definition includes the option to restrict storage for that specific cloud drive, Folder Quota:
Note
You manage folder and subfolder quotas in the portal for multiple folders and subfolders, that are then applied to all edge filers, from CTERA Portal version 8.3.3300.8.
If an entity exceeds its quota, the edge filer prevents any further write operations to that entity. If a given entity exceeds its quota limit, all of its descendants in the dependency tree are also considered to be over-quota, and any write operations to those entities are also blocked.
You can monitor folder quotas, for the edge filer, as described in Monitor Cloud Folder Quotas.
