1. to developdesignenhancementfeature: external storagefeature: filesgood first issue

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
Investigate the storage quota warning implementation in the Nextcloud server. Look for the warning message in the frontend code (likely Vue components) and the backend logic that checks storage full. Consider how external mount points affect quota calculation. Review the existing design pattern for read only shares for inspiration. Propose a change to the warning display logic to be less invasive when external mount points are configured.
