alfresco-myfiles-quota

This extension adds the ability to define and apply a default quota on My Files folder when a new user is created.

Alfresco's default quota is applied to every content uploaded by a user. This extension applies quota only to personal space (user home folder).

The default quota value is set in alfresco-global.properties file and must be defined in bytes.

The plugin is licensed under the LGPL v3.0. The current version is compatible with 5.0.

It has been developed based on alfresco-folder-quota

On addition, during Alfresco Global Virtual Hack-a-thon 2015, folder quota setting has been included in Share interface. So every folder can be controlled by a quota (even Sites folders).

Downloading the ready-to-deploy-plugin

Configuring the quota

Include and set the following properties at alfresco-global.properties on your Alfresco installation:

	# Folder quota in bytes (10 Mb)
	user.creation.default.quota=10737418
	folder.quota.core.pool.size=10
	folder.quota.maximum.pool.size=20
	folder.quota.thread.priority=5

All users shall be created with default quota assignment.

You can get quota for a user on Home Folder invoking the webscript:

curl -v -u admin:admin "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/keensoft/myfiles/quota/{username}"

You can create or change quota for a user on Home Folder invoking the webscript:

curl -v -u admin:admin -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"quota":"104857600"}' "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/keensoft/myfiles/quota/{username}"

The following property must be set: quota (amount of bytes allowed in My Files user folder for user {username})
