Setting the total space allocated for uploaded files

You can limit the amount of space provided in your database to store documents uploaded to page groups. If you want to limit the amount of space provided for a single page group, see Changing the page group quota.

You can also limit the size of individual files that content contributors can upload to page groups.

When a content contributor uploads a file to the portal, the upload is monitored in the middle-tier to detect if the total space or maximum file size are exceeded. If either of these limits is exceeded, the upload is terminated and an error message is displayed.

To set the total space allocated for uploaded files, you must be the portal administrator.

To set the total space allocated for uploaded files:

  1. In the Services portlet, click Global Settings.

    Note: By default, the Services portlet is on the Administer tab of the Builder page.

  2. Make sure you are on the Main tab.

  3. In the Total Space Allocated radio group, select Limit To to limit the amount of space provided to store files uploaded to the page groups in this portal.

  4. In the field, enter the maximum amount of megabytes provided for uploaded files across the whole portal. When this limit is reached, users will no longer be able to upload files to page groups in the portal.

    Notes:

  5. Click OK.
