A really useful application is [https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Apps/DiskUsageAnalyzer?action=show&redirect=Apps%2FBaobab](https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Apps/DiskUsageAnalyzer?action=show&redirect=Apps%2FBaobab) ![](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DiskUsageAnalyzer?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=screenshot.png) When you are looking for free space, you can easily find where big files are stored. I love to use it on my desktop, but I would love to have something similar on nextcloud as sometime we don’t synchronize all files. User mode: See easily the usage of your files. Admin mode: See easily what your users are using. ---

Agreed and a per user usage would be great as well. For example to see if anyone is abusing the trash can for example. ---
