Global / per disk quota

[xylo]

It would be great if the administrator could set a global storage quota for the nextcloud instance.

If the nextcloud uses different disks or storage services it might be also useful to be able to set a quota for each disk / storage service.

Okay, I misread it a bit.

No problem. If my feature request can be covered by #1763, that's fine for me, too. However, #1763 is definitely more work to do and not necessary for me. That's why I created this separate feature request which should be IMO relatively easy to implement.

I created a app ages ago to handle this use case. It allowed setting a storage quota and a limit for max users.

If i remember correctly it was for ownCloud 5 and i used some ugly hacks. Could be much easier today to implement.

If someone is interested i can publish the code.

My suggestion is that at a default level of e.g. 90% usage of the global disk quota the server admin gets a warning message e.g. via email. But if he does not react at a level of 95% all users get a warning message, so that they are informed that they might run into a problem if the server admin does not act.

Missing this feature too...

Running a small instance on a hosted webspace, where the "free disk-space" reported under Settings > System shows the total avaliable disk space on the server, which has nothing to do with the quota covered by our hosting contract.

Since there is another website next to it I would like to limit the total quota for the instance to so that users don't "accidentally" knock over the website by uploading stuff.

EDIT:
This is getting quite annoying! I've now run 4GB above my hosting quota and have to skim the webspace for what's taking up all that space... It's the trash bins! There is currently no way to tell the bin that it has to clean up stuff when running against a webspace limit which is not also a "disk limit"! 👿
