Description

Hi,

this app is great, but I want to be able to prevent users from creating new folder outside of group folders. This is a very frequent requirement based on several posts in forums.

I only want users to be able to create new folders within the group folders.

The suggested workaround: Set Quota to 0 B ist not working for me, because I still want users to be able to use the collectives app which is not possible when they have 0 B quota.

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by tracing the existing quota handling and group-folder permissions, then verify that users can still use the Collectives app while creation of new folders outside group folders is prevented.
