This page describes the quotas and limits of Filestore.
Number of instances
The number of instances you can create is limited only by the amount of Filestore quota for a given project and region as well as the minimum file share capacity. For example, if you have 32 TiB of quota in a given region, you can create 32 instances each with 1 TiB of capacity. To see your available per project, per region quota, go to the Quotas page.
