Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like to be able to set storage quotas on the book level. For example: a given book can only have 100MB of content in it (text + images + attachments).

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Given an organization, the use case I'd like to support is:

Set up a shelf for member books.
Offer each member of the organization their own book that they can use to collect notes, drafts, etc.

My hope is that members would also find this a handy and low-overhead way to communicate ideas between each other (I could write something up, send someone else a link, they could easily comment, etc.).

My worry is that a member book could be used for storing large amounts of files ("Hey, I can store my music collection here and get access to it anywhere!"). Storage quotas would help.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I don't think so. I don't think filesystem-level quotas will help here. Implementing a community storage policy is an option, but asking nicely doesn't always work (and a filesystem filling up is usually a bad day).

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

Under 3 months
