Steps To Implement Disk Quotas
Management In windows 7 And 8.
1

When several users are using a device, you might want
to restrict the amount of storage space each user uses.
It means that only a single user never takes up the
available space on a specific drive or partition. This article
will help you understand what quotas are for
discs? How to set Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to
these?

Let’s know about the Disk
Quotas

Disk space quotas monitor the available storage space on an NTFS driver or partition.
An administrator can limit the amount of information a user can store on the drive or
partition by setting quotas. It ensures that he / she will not be able to store any new
data on it if the user reaches his / her Disk limit.

How disk quotas work in the Windows 7 and 8.1?
• Use Windows account which has administrative rights to set the disk quotas and
quota cap. Normal or regular users are not permitted to set quotas.
• NTFS file system must be used on hard drive. (Unable to set disk quotas for FAT32
formatted driver)
• Disk quotas can be set for non-folders disks or partitions.
• Quotas limits for multiple drivers or partitions on a Windows machine are set individually
for each.

Steps to implement disk quotas management in windows 7 and 8.1
Move 1: Open File Explorer, to impose quota limits, select the disk; then right-click or
tap and hold it, and click or tap Property.
Move 2: Now, click or tap the Quotas tab inside the driver properties and then the "Display
Quotas settings" tab.
Move 3: Open a window setting the quotas. Now change the settings needed on Windows
7 or Windows 8.1 computers to implement quota limits for each user.

Move 4: Now, tick the option "Allow quota management." When you have allowed disk
quotas, go ahead and implement your quota limits.
​
Move 5: Test the "Deny disk space for users exceeding quota limits" option. Then select
"Limit disk space to" and enter the quota cap value.

Note: If a user is near to his limit, you can also log an case. To that end, you can set a
value for the field "Set alert point." If more than one person uses the machine then enabling
quota management and enforcement of quota limits can be very useful. Do you
find quotas to be useful for home computers or are they just useful in office environments?
