Keep getting "Not Enough Space On The Disk" when trying to save files to a server share? - Small Business Server

Keep getting "Not Enough Space On The Disk" when trying to save files to a server share? - Small Business Server

Getting this error message?

Unable to create the file ..... "there is not enough space on the disk"

Unfortunately, Windows Server does not give the correct error message to the user when their disk quota has been exceeded. It tells them that there is not enough space on the disk, rather than telling them that their disk quota has been exceeded.

Quotas on the partition/volume where the user shared folders are. By default it is 1 Gb per user, over the entire drive, not counting exchange,sql or sharepoint.

1. Log on to your system with an administrator account, for example,owner or administrator.

2. Click Start, and then click My Computer.

3. Right-click on the drive, and then click Properties.

4. Click the Quota tab.

5. Either increase the amount of disk space available to users bychanging the Limit disk space to option or disable the Disk Quotas featureby clicking to clear the Enable Quota management check box.
