'''5. Default Quota'''
What is a "quota"? All ownCloud instance users share a pool of permanent disk storage. In most cases an ownCloud Administrator may decide to manage the maximum amount of storage each user will be allocated. This maximum is called a "quota". For example, say that all users share a pool of storage 1 TB (Tera Byte) of storage. The ownCloud Administrator decides that new users will be allocated 10 GB (Giga Bytes) at the start. More storage can be set for each user later. So in this example the Administrator will set the "Default Quota" field in the security toolbar to 10 GB. Any new ownCloud user IDs created from here on will be set to 10 GB. It is highly '''recommended''' that quotas are set for a new ownCloud instance until permanent storage use is better understood.
