How to Add or Remove Quota tab in Drive Properties in Windows 10


You can right click or press and hold on a drive in Windows, and click/tap on Properties to see more details about the drive's properties.

The Quota tab in the properties page window of drives allow you to manage quota settings for the drive.

Disk quotas track and control disk space usage for NTFS file system volumes, allowing administrators to control the amount of data that each user can store on a specific NTFS volume. Administrators can optionally configure the system to log an event when users are near their quota, and to deny further disk space to users who exceed their quota. Administrators can also generate reports, and use the event monitor to track quota issues.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the Quota tab on the Properties page of drives for all users in Windows 10.

You must be signed in as an administrator to add or remove the Quota tab.
