Upload Failed. The server storage quota has been exceeded

Question

Monday, December 16, 2013 2:19 PM

Dear All,

I have an Excel file on Document library which is more than 100Mb. I am working with it daily (Simple edit, update and save). Since yesterday I am getting error message "Upload Failed. The server storage quota has been exceeded. Save a copy". But i have 10GB quota (I have checked in CA). Other users are fine. I am only the person who get this message. any idea?

Best Regards

Were are you storing this file?in Mysite Document library or in general site document library? Considering other users are not facing problems i guess personal quota on mysite is exceeded

  •  Go to your Central Administration à Application
  • On the Application Management page, in the SharePoint Site Management section, click Quota Templates.
  • On the Quota Template page, you can see the Personal site’s Limit site storage is set to 100Mb by default

 Make  it 200mb

Do you have versions enabled? If so, previous versions count towards the quota.

Thanks for share it. I think it is server problem. May be wait for few days only you will recovered it.

Alongside Jason's suggestion, I'd have a look in your recycle bins and clear these out if applicable. They're often prime candidates for eating away at storage quotas.

Have the same problem here. Site had hit its limit, increased it (comfortably), opening in Excel still showes the same error for the user in question - tho not for me.

Have restarted both IE and Excel - fwiw - but no effect. Is the quota info cache'd elsewhere?

>Looking at the error it is has hit the site quota for sure and this doesn't look like a problem with the file.

>What happens if you upload the same file directly on one of the document library does that work?

>If above fails then what happens if you upload any other file directly to doc library which is about same size>

If the above fails please clean your recycle bin and if it still fails follow below

>If you create a new site collection are you able to upload same size file on this new site collection?

>If this fails as well then add a new content DB and create a new site coll and check if this works
