Storage Quotas

OxiCloud supports per-user storage quotas to limit disk usage.

Enabling Quotas

bash
OXICLOUD_ENABLE_USER_STORAGE_QUOTAS=true

How It Works

  1. Each user has a storage_quota field (in bytes, 0 = unlimited)
  2. On every file upload, the current usage is checked against the quota
  3. If the upload would exceed the quota, it's rejected with a 413 Payload Too Large error
  4. Admins can view and set quotas via the admin panel or API

API

MethodEndpointDescription
GET/api/admin/users/{id}/quotaGet user's quota and current usage
PUT/api/admin/users/{id}/quotaSet user's quota

Admin Panel

The admin panel (/admin.html) shows each user's current usage vs. quota with a visual progress bar.

Deduplication Interaction

Storage usage is calculated based on logical file size (what the user uploaded), not physical blob size. This means:

  • If two users upload the same 100 MB file, each user's quota is charged 100 MB
  • But on disk, only one 100 MB blob exists

This ensures fair quota accounting while maintaining dedup benefits.
