Description

Done

Check quota before uploading

  • Android
  • iOS
  • Desktop

Have new "max-upload-size"

  • Android
  • iOS
  • Desktop
  • Server

I think it would make sense to introduce a webdav quota property. This would allow clients to check before they upload to a folder if there is enough space.

In a similar matte we could introduce a max-upload-size property for the clients to respect. Huge files (even if chunked) might timeout or put an unreasonable load on the server. So an admin might want to limit upload size to 1GB for example.
