Guaranteed space / backup space / dedicated pool

[pilot830]

Right now the way Yetishare works is you get guaranteed space if you are premium

I am proposing a 2nd storage pool that works more like a "dedicated storage"

This way, I could run a file hosting site that is fully free and the users files will STILL get auto-deleted after x number of days if no downloads are occuring.. but their "dedicated storage space" , the secondary storage pool, say a small 50 gb or 100 gb.. those files in that "container" dont go anywhere, ever

so a user can say to themselves, ok im gonna put these files in (dedicated storage) and then files they dont mind if they get deleted in the public space

so maybe a private storage

a private locker

Or a "backup space"

All users can get "backup space" that can be defined in the control panel (admin)

so everyone can get 50 gb regardless and then any files outside of that 50 gb capped pool would be subject to deletion if no downloads occur

You might say that I should just give eveyrone premium accounts of 50 gb.. but I want them to be able to freely upload unlimitedly.. but only have a certain amount that doesnt go away

Yes, thus would be a handy feature I believe many would use.

Whilst uploading, checking a checkbox that says "do not expire", or, "expire in 30 days of no activity".

This could be linked to the same storage server, OR, locate all permanent files on a different storage server, i.e. with redundancy and backups, versus a cheaper server with no backups or redundancy.

So, who ids up for the challenge of making a really simple modification to a few files so that the check box links destination to different storage server or group?

THANK YOU!
