TeraStation User Manual

•  When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder. The limited space includes the space used for 

trash.

•  Quotas apply per drive or per array.  If a Quota is set to 1 GB, each array or drive can use maximum of 1 GB. 
•  Quotas can’t be set for external USB hard drives connected to the TeraStation, only internal drives.

To limit the space of shared folders that each user can use, follow the procedure below.

• Username and password must be the same one that the user logs into Windows with.  If these values are different, 

shared folders with access restrictions cannot be accessed.  
• Deleting or adding users repeatedly may cause quotas to not work properly.

Enter [Username], [User Id], [Password], and [Description].

Note:
User IDs may be between 1000 and 1999.  Do not duplicate user IDs.

Check [Enable] for [User Quota].

Enter the maximum space this user is allowed for the [Hard Limit (GB)].  

If a [Soft Limit (GB)] is entered, the user will receive a warning when the 

soft limit is reached.  The soft limit should be smaller than the hard limit.
Click [Save]. 

In the 

Web Admin interface, navigate to [Users/Groups] - [Local Users].
