# View file system tree quotas

Network-attached storage is a file-level storage architecture that makes stored data more accessible to networked devices.

## About this task

Quota management allows you to place limits on the amount of space that can be consumed in order to regulate file system storage consumption. Quota trees limit the maximum size of a directory on a file system. Unlike user quotas, which are applied and tracked on a user-by-user basis, quota trees are applied to directories within the file system.
