3.10 Setting an iFolder Quota

Setting a quota for an iFolder helps the owner to manage the space allotted for all of the iFolders the user owns. Member users of the iFolder can view the quota, but cannot modify it.

On the server, space for your iFolder data is allocated as it is needed; space is not reserved by the quotas you specify for each iFolder. It is possible to overbook the quotas so that the total allocated space can exceed the quota set for your account. However, the iFolders can individually and collectively grow only up to the available space for your account.

To enable or modify the quota for an iFolder:

  1. Open the Properties dialog box for the iFolder to the General tab.

  2. Select Set Quota to enable the quota.

  3. Specify the maximum size of the iFolder in MB.

  4. Click Apply to accept the setting, then click OK to close the Properties dialog box.

To disable the quota for an iFolder:

  1. Open the Properties dialog box for the iFolder to the General tab.

  2. Deselect Set Quota to disable the quota.

  3. Click Apply to accept the setting, then click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
