Set a default quota for the folders created within the top-level folders for courses or organizations. Enter ‘-1’ if there should be no quota. Note: The quota cannot be changed for existing folders. If a quota is changed, only newly created folders will have the new quota size. Administrators may change the quota for an existing folder on an individual basis. |
