Bug Description

When viewing my control panel, it shows me that I have 4.9 gigs of space free, however, since that means I have 100.1 gigs of space used, 95% of my storage space is taken up. I'm not sure exactaly when the text turns red, but for a lack of other information lets just say that at the 95% mark the text turns red.

If I have an account that only has 5 gigs of space (the free account), the text would not turn red until I have .25 gigs of available storage space left. I have an account of 105gb of space. Why is it that the control panel text is red on for my account when I have 4.9 gigs, or almost an entire free account worth of storage space left.

My proposal:

Instead of the text turning red to warn you when you have a certain percentage of space left, it should be when you have a certain amount of space left. Then, no matter what size account I have, when there is X amount of space left (lets say 2 gigs for now) the text will turn red to warn me. So, if I have 5 gigs of storage space, when I have 3 gigs of space full, the text will turn red. If I have 25 gigs of space on my account, the text will turn red at 23gigs of space used.

Hello Chris!

Thanks a lot for the interest in Ubuntu One. Yes, the space usage string turns red when you're using 95% of your quota. The rationale behind this is that if you have a small amount of spaces, is likely that you don't use that much space, so you will not need more space until you're close to fill it, and if you have a lot of space, is likely that you will be filling it pretty soon, so we let you know with enough time so you can buy more or be aware of the situation.

Anyways, I will revisit this decision by asking our design team.

Cheers!
Natalia (nessita).

Hi Natalia,

For free accounts with 5 GB storage, we start warning when the user has 500 MB storage left. For accounts with more storage (which currently means minimum 25 GB), we warn when the user has 3 GB left.

Thanks,

Lisette, unless it has changed recently, I currently have 4.7 GB of free space, but the text is showing up in red.
