[Owncloud] Group Quota possible?

[Angus Griffin]

Actually for us - a true group quota, that is, the ability to give 100GB to 5 users to share (total 100GB), rather than 100GB to each of 5 users (total 500GB), would be very useful.

If there is any possibility of this on the horizon I'd be keen to participate in testing or to provide any input on design.

Regards,
Angus
