Please note that the access right of specific user has higher priority than the access right of his permission level, for example:
'Jessica' is a user whose permission level is 'Power User', 'Power User' have right to download/upload files from/to Virtual Folder 'Disk_D'. If we don't want 'Jessica' to have right to upload files to 'Disk_D', just add 'Jessica' to Specific Users List and make the status of Allow Upload 'No'.

Note:
1.User can also delete the files that he has ever uploaded if he has right to upload files.
2.User can also create/delete sub-folders in virtual folders if he has right to upload files.

You may limit the amount of disk space that users consume for the virtual folder, Easy File Sharing Web Server will keep track of uploads, and file deletions to calculate a running total of current disk usage. Please input a value in 'Disk Quota' ( 0 means unlimited quota ), and the server will then keep track of any future activity.
