# I cannot upload/create new files

In case you cannot upload/create new files in your instance, most likely you've exhaused your Nuvolos filesystem quota. To validate this, try writing new data to a file. If you get the error

```
Disk quota exceeded
```

, then this is the case. 

You can hit 2 different quotas:

* The [Nuvolos Filesystem storage quota](https://docs.nuvolos.com/features/file-system-and-storage#quota-usage). In that case, either increase the quota or remove files to free up space.
* The Nuvolos Filesystem file count quota. You cannot create more than **1 million files/folders** in any instances on the Nuvolos filesystem. If you really need to store more files than this, consider using [Large File Storage](https://docs.nuvolos.com/features/file-system-and-storage/large-file-storage).
