* **Tag:** you can add tags to mark file storage as needed.
* **File Storage Max quota:** in the file storage initialization step, you need to set a maximum quota limit for that file storage. This quota means the limit of storage capacity that the file storage can use, helping to manage resources effectively. <mark style="color:red;">**The minimum quota you need to choose is 1 TB and the maximum quota we provide is 50 TB**</mark>**.** If you need to use more than 50 TB for a file storage, please contact us.
