User quotas are what will help control the amount of space that is being used by a file server in the cloud that has a limited amount of disk space due to financial considerations. User quotas are the limits or restrictions that are imposed on the amount of space that each user can use or consume on a file server or storage device. User quotas can help to control the amount of space that is being used by:

Preventing or reducing wastage or overuse of space by users who may store unnecessary or redundant files or data on the file server or storage device.

Ensuring fair and equal distribution or allocation of space among users who may have different needs or demands for space on the file server or storage device.

Monitoring and managing the usage or consumption of space by users who may need to be notified or alerted when they reach or exceed their quota on the file server or storage device.
