In My Computer, r-click the drive -> Properties -> Quotas. You've probably
got the quota set to 1 GB, which I think may be the default in SBS. You can
make whatever changes you consider appropriate. I recommend against turning
Quotas off completely - even if you don't enforce any limits, it's nice to
be able to see how much data each user has stored on the volume.
It's probably a "best practice" (whatever that means) to create separate
shares rather than sharing from the root of the volume. It'll give you more
flexibility in configuring security, and possibly make it easier for users
to connect to or locate the specific data they're interested in.
