Description
Feature request
Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: (see administration page)
32.0.6
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The larger the quota is, the less it makes sense to use percentages. For example, a 400GB quota gets their first warning at 320GB while there is still 80GB available. This user does not need to be warned when there is still so much free.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to set gradual warnings when, for example, the user has only 1GB available, then 500MB, then 120MB.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The only option I see is to disable quotas. But this is ill-advised, because such a user can fill up the filesystem by accident or intentionally. We need to set quotas. We could disable the warning... but a better option is to improve it.
Additional context
None. Thanks for the app.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating how quota warning thresholds are configured and notifications are triggered, then clarify the configuration and warning behavior for absolute free-space values such as 1GB, 500MB, and 120MB; done means administrators can set and receive these gradual warnings.
