Quota

What Does "Creating Quota" Mean on a Seedbox?

In simple terms, creating a quota on a seedbox means setting a limit on how much disk space a particular folder, user, or app is allowed to use. For example: Imagine your seedbox is a big hard drive (say 2 TB), and you want to make sure one program or folder doesn’t use up all the space. You can create a quota to cap that usage — for example, “this folder can only use 500 GB.”

Why Would You Create a Quota?

Creating quotas helps:

✅ Prevent one user or app from filling the disk

✅ Keep your seedbox organized and under control

✅ Allocate specific amounts of space to different purposes (like downloads, backups, media, etc.)

✅ Avoid crashes or failed downloads due to disk full errors
