Using your LinkStation

Disk Quotas

Notes:

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 LinkStation, only internal drives.

The LS-CHL LinkStation doesn’t support disk quotas in the US and the EU.

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.
