Abstract

In some examples, a system may receive, from a first user, a request to create a team folder from a folder associated with the first user. The request may indicate a requested storage quota from a team folder storage pool to associate with the team folder. The system may determine whether the requested storage quota is below a threshold amount corresponding to a profile for team folder creation associated with the first user. If the requested storage quota is below the threshold amount, the system may automatically create a shared file system for the team folder and allocate a quantity of storage from the team folder storage pool to the shared file system based on the requested storage quota. Alternatively, if the requested storage quota exceeds the threshold amount, the system may generate a communication to an administrator to request approval for creation of the team folder.
