I just noticed that if I share a folder with other users who have file create permissions in that folder, that whatever they upload is deducted from my storage quota, not theirs.
On Google drive, say, files are owned by whoever creates them, and thus are counted towards that ownerâs quota. I think that makes more sense.
Also, thereâs a potential âdenial of serviceâ there if third parties can âfill upâ a userâs quota, as it wouldnât be so straightforward to locate and remove such uploaded files in a complex directory structure. Iâm not even thinking of malicious use here, such things can happen by mistake.
I would therefore kindly suggest / ask that user storage quota are calculated by file owner, and that files created by others in a shared folder are owned by the creator.
If this is already possible and I just need to configure / set up things differently, Iâd be grateful for your advice.
Many thanks,
David
