Description

  • set up a files external mount point that should be used by all users
  • set quota to 0 (so that they only can upload to the mount points)

It would now be nice to not show the warning Your storage is full, files can not be updated or synced anymore! if there are mount points specified (or show it less invasive).

@nextcloud/designers Ideas? Maybe something like we use in the read only shares, which is not that invasive:

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the code that renders the full-storage warning and the handling for configured mount points; confirm how the existing read-only-share feedback is implemented. Done should mean that users with mount points do not receive the current invasive warning, while genuinely full storage still produces appropriate feedback.
