Step 2: Select disk size

If you are a member of a project, you can select from the drop-down list whether you want to use the quotas of the project or the default quotas that exist in your account. Next, you may select the disk size by moving the cursor in the size bar or by writing the size you want in the small frame right next to the bar.
