**Step 3:** At the File Storage initialization screen, you need to enter/select:

* **File Storage name:** the descriptive name of the storage file. The file name must be between 5 and 50 characters long and can include the characters a-z, AZ, 0-9, '-', '\_'
* **Description** : enter a description for the storage file.
* **File storage type:** select the type of drive you want to use. Currently we only provide **Standard HDD drive type.**
* **Protocol:** select the protocol you want. We currently support:
  * **NFS** : v4.0, 4.1
  * **SMB** : v2.0+
* **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.
* **Network type** : select the network type you want. Currently, we support:
  * **Public** : all access is public, you can use this storage file for VMs, K8S on-premise, on GreenNode or resources from other sources.
  * **Private:** private connections in the GreenNode ecosystem **.**
* **Permission:** configure IP-based access permissions
  * **No one:** No IP is allowed to access.
