[FEATURE REQUEST] Quota improvements from GraphAPI

[jesmrec]

That comes from #4401 (comment)

Some improvements we could add, taking advantage of GraphAPI:

• If quota is exceeded, currently we show No storage usage information available. I'd show the bar full instead. We can also take advantage of the state field that comes in the response:

 "quota": {
                "remaining": 0,
                "state": "exceeded",
                "total": 1000000000,
                "used": 1423007244
            },

playing with colors depending on the status is another option (normal, nearing, exceeded)

• Quota is updated in some scenarios, that we could spread to those ones in which the value changes locally:

  • Adding a new file
  • Deleting a new file
  • (Maybe all of these cases can be handled updating the quota in the synchronization/refresh operation)

They could trigger a new request to update the values

• Show spaces' quota as well

• Showing the quota in manage accounts dialog

• Checking if quota can be retrieved from other different endpoint, without fetching whole info about all spaces.

TASKS

Could be another fix/improvement to do.

EXCEEDED QUOTA

When the quota is exceeded, the progress bar looks:

NEARING QUOTA

I don't know how to display the quota when the state is nearing. Now, we have the total and the used with the progress bar. In my opinion, in this case, we can replace the color by yellow/orange or something like that, but change the string I don't think it's a good idea.

@jesmrec @JuancaG05 Take a look and comment if you have more ideas 🚀

[jesmrec]

Adding a (nearing) clarification is a good idea?. Just as an idea, we could have three rows:

1st row: progress bar
2nd row: total / used (if used exist). Just this numerical values
3rd row: message

The message is something like:

if exceeded -> The quota is exceeded
if nearing -> Close to the limit (or similar)
...

if no message, the 3rd row is gone

What do you think?

[joragua]

Yeah, I agree with you. I'll continue with your idea and I'll update the screenshots when it's "finished" 😄

[joragua]

Here, an update about quota in drawer:

Exceeded Quota	Nearing Quota

Critical Quota	Normal limited quota

(Updated)

[jesmrec]

cool! just an small clarification, in the nearing message: i think Close to the quota limit sounds better

[joragua]

Hi @tbsbdr! 😄 We have some questions related with this issue. Do you agree with the string below numerical quota: The quota is exceeded, Close to the quota limit, Very close to the quota limit? How can we highlight all these strings to get the user's attention? We consider not to use colors because we could have problems with the branding.

[joragua]

This is how the manage accounts dialog looks with the quota:

Option 1	Option 2

Option 3

Some comments about the options:

Option 1: You can see the quota in the progress bar and also in the text below it. But I you have some accounts at the same time, the dialog could be very big.

Option 2: The first option without the progress bar.

Option 3: One line with progress bar (If you have limit in the account) and used/total quota.

(It will be updated with more ideas)

[jesmrec]

option 3 merges 1 and 2. That's my favorite

@joragua I observed that people don't know the word "quota", because of that I'd start to rename it to storage if you agree.

My proposal is:

1. The quota is exceeded --> Storage full
2. Close to the quota limit --> Storage nearly full
3. Very close to the quota limit --> Storage very nearly full

Would that be an improvement?

get the user's attention

Hm.. I'd expect a color as a visual hint. If somehow possible and if not "too expensive", let's use a color. Note on branding: The comprehensive branding as we still provide it should be cut back in the future. With this in mind, I'd encourage to cut ties with the past where possible which can mean to not pay much attention to branding. just my 2 cents.
