Control whether storage quota APIs will return static values

Verified with Google Chrome — updated on July 10, 2026

Supported on: Microsoft Windows 7 or later

Path in the GPO console

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome

Description

When enabled, the storage quota APIs will return a static value equal to usage + min(10 GiB, disk rounded up to the nearest 1 GiB). When disabled, the storage quota APIs will generally return a dynamic value proportional to the total space available on the device, regardless of usage. If unset, the storage quota APIs will use the default Chrome behavior. Sites with unlimited storage permissions are unaffected by this setting. Enforced quota is also unaffected.

Registry

Export Builder

BETA

Configure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.

These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO.
