Abstract
A shared storage dynamic user quota system includes a storage management device coupled to a storage system having a shared storage space. The storage management device receives a data storage request from a user device to store data in the shared storage space. If the storage management device determines that the storage of the data in the shared storage space will exceed a user storage quota for a user associated with the user device, it determines whether the user qualifies to store the data in the shared storage space and exceed the user storage quota. In response to determining that the user qualifies to store the data in the shared storage space and exceed the user storage quota, the storage management device stored the data in the shared storage space.
