HTTP 507 Insufficient Storage Error - Meaning & Fix

The HTTP 507 Insufficient Storage status code indicates that the server lacks the necessary storage capacity to complete the requested operation. This issue arises during server-side processing of your request. The server is unable to store the data needed to fulfill your request.

Main causes

  • Server disk space is full, preventing the storage of additional data.

  • Quota limits set by the server for specific users or directories have been exceeded.

  • File system limitations preventing the storage of larger files.

  • Configuration errors in the server or network storage that misreport available storage capacity.

# Request example 
curl -X POST https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/ -H 'Accept: application/xhtml+xml' -H 'Accept-Encoding: compress' -H 'User-Agent: Safari/537.36'

  • Review and optimize server-side applications to reduce the amount of storage required for operations.
