Set a default quota in MB

MAURICIO_BOLANOS_LED · March 31, 2022, 1:38pm

Hello everyone,

I need to set a default quota but in the seafile manual it only indicates for values greater than 1 GB. is it possible to set a default quota in MB?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
what do you mean with quota? A maximum quota for one user or maximum for one a fileupload?

Hi,

Thanks for answering.

In that part of the manual where a default quota is defined.

My question is,
Is it possible to define it also in MB?

Have you tried to use it with a dezimal count like 0.5 for 500 MB?

If you look at the image, it specifies integer only. and yes, I tried what you tell me and it doesn’t work

It looks like the problem exist since a while:

In seafile.conf, quota must be given as integer in GB (see https://github.com/ha…iwen/seafile/wiki/Seafile-server-configuration-options#wiki-Storage_Quota_Setting_seafileconf). In seahub, quota can be set in MB. I propose to set both to MB so that default quota for anonymous-registration portals can be enabled. Small-quota accounts are useful for sharing regular repositories with them through a seafile-client without having big costs when they actually use their x GB of data.

It’s look like that you can set the quota in the backend in MB in the accountadministration.
