CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 141

An administrator manages a file server that has a lot of users accessing and creating many files. As a result, the storage consumption is growing quickly. Which of the following would BEST control storage usage?

Answer options

• A. Compression
• B. File permissions
• C. User quotas
• D. Access policies

Correct answer: C

Explanation

User quotas are the most effective method for controlling storage usage as they limit the amount of disk space each user can consume, directly managing storage growth. Compression may reduce file size but does not prevent users from creating more files. File permissions and access policies help secure files but do not manage storage consumption.
