MY CLOUD USER MANUAL
Quota Rules
Assigning user quotas allows you to better control the disk space allocated to a user or a group.
There are various rules dictating which quota takes precedence over another.
Note:
If user permissions and group permissions differ, the most restrictive permission takes
precedence.
A User quota must be less than or equal to the group quota (e.g., if your group has a 20 GB
quota and you try to set the user quota to 30 GB quota, you will be prompted to reduce
your user quota to be equal to or less then the group quota).
If the user quota is not set, the group quota is assigned to the user.
When a user quota is set prior to the user joining a group and a group is assigned:
-
If the user quota is more than the group quota, the individual user‘s quota is
automatically reduced to the group quota amount.
-
If the user quota is less than or equal to the group quota, the individual user quota
remains unchanged.
