Disk quotas are set at disk level (not folder/files level) and take properties and go to the Quota tab.
By default it is disabled, you enable it by checking Enable quota management and then specify options such if it should only be warning/logging or an actual consequence when you reach the quota such as checking Deny disk space to users exceeding quota limit.
Disk Quota is limited to only one per disk and one level for all users, running Windows Server 2012 you can set different limit per users.
