Comment: Limits onUser Uploads
| << Previous | Next >> |
Comment inspired from UncleJam
UncleJam: Actually, there are two ways to limit uploads.
The first one is to define a limit in the user profile, to count uploaded bytes, and to stop accepting files above the limit. We could name this "the boundary approach". Another way would be to set an allowed number of bytes in the user profile, to decrease it on each upload, and to stop at zero. This would be "the bucket approach".
Why bother, if both provides the same feature? In my opinion, "the bucket approach" could be easier to understand and to manage. What do you think?
