The quota visible on stoney storage is an user quota and does not reflect the used space or available space on the file system at all. You can define these quotas in the user administration menu. Additionally to the real data the file system used space will also contain the previous and deleted versions of files. These can take up to 50% of the free space until they are cleaned automatically. This however can happen delayed and may need to be done manually in some cases.
