# 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](/features/file-system-and-storage.md#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](/features/file-system-and-storage/large-file-storage.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
