Local quotas are assigned per cloud drive folder on the portal and enforced on all the edge filers accessing the folder. When a file is added to the folder on the edge filer, if the folder quota has been exceeded, an error is displayed and the file is not added to the folder.
You can a file to a folder directly to a portal when the quota has not yet been reached even if the added file caused the quota to be exceeded. After the file has been added, no more files can be added to the portal until files are removed from the folder to until the quota is not exceeded.
You cannot a file to a folder on the edge filer if the added file causes the quota to be exceeded.
Setting up local quotas requires definitions on the CTERA Portal and on each CTERA Edge Filer.
For details, see Set Up Local Quotas.
