The Quota Exceeded error pops up and also makes an audible sound to alert you that you have exceeded your local storage quota. This is the space that is allotted to your browser for it to save files onto your local hard drive. The allotment should equal about 10% of the free space left on your hard drive. The recommended minimum requirement of free disk space before doing a recording is 20GB. This should ensure that you have 2GB free to save the audio backup.
If this error is shown, you should stop your recording and clear off more space on your hard drive before recording again. If you ignore this error and your Dropbox upload fails, you could risk losing the audio for good since there was no space available to save the backup.
Alternatively, you can delete past Zencastr recordings that were backed up. You should only do this if you are confident that all past recordings are safely uploaded to your Dropbox account.
