Norman, the question is one of trying to stop 'misbehaviour' before it occurs. With no limits people can choose to dump a file server's worth of information onto my tenant, and it's then MY problem to help them put it where it should be. Rather than with a limit set the content can't be added without some prior discussion - and I can then **bleep** it in the bud before it becomes my problem to move it on. We've got 15,000 users and while most will use the storage 'sensibly' you'll always get the odd bright spark!
