Editing NTFS (section)

=== Quotas ===
[[Disk quota]]s were introduced in NTFS v3. They allow the administrator of a computer that runs a version of Windows that supports NTFS to set a threshold of disk space that users may use. It also allows administrators to keep track of how much disk space each user is using. An administrator may specify a certain level of disk space that a user may use before they receive a warning, and then deny access to the user once they hit their upper limit of space. Disk quotas do not take into account NTFS's transparent [[File compression|file-compression]], should this be enabled. Applications that query the amount of free space will also see the amount of free space left to the user who has a quota applied to them.
