Agreed. Let's give it a try: quota space A quota space is a storage area on a WebDAV server where the amount of storage for resources is restricted. The restriction might be due to physical disk size or limited by configuration options of the server. The storage restriction might be enforced the same for all users, letting them share the available space, or configured and enforced differently for each user. A WebDAV collection belongs to at most one quota space. Subcollections might belong to the same or different quota spaces. (Comment: I'm not sure if we need identifier for quota spaces, so that clients could compare if two collections are in the same quota.) A collection belonging to a quota space has the following two live properties: DAV:quota-free The DAV:quota-free property reports the amount of storage in octets available to the current user in the quota space the reporting collection belongs to. The value of this property will usually be protected, although a user with sufficient privileges may be permitted to change the value. The property is useful even if it is protected. A 403 Forbidden response is recommended for attempts to write a protected property. A value of 0 indicates that storage is limited to 0. Users will probably not be able to add resources to the collection. If a collection has no quota enforced, it should not return this property at all. A client cannot entirely assume that there is no quota enforced on a collection that does not have this property, but might as well act as if there is no quota. This property is OPTIONAL on collections and SHOULD NOT exist on non-collection resources. When a new collection is created, it is up to the server to initialize the value appropriately if it chooses to. And DAV:quota-used The DAV:quota-used property reports the amount of storage in octets used by the current user in the quota space the reporting collection belongs to. These values are an approximation and should be treated as such. It is not required that DAV:quota-free and DAV:quota-used always add up to the same value.
