Hi JohnAdam_CUNY,

First of all, you have to provide list, even for a single member - list of UserCustomQuotaArg. As could be seen there, value is in GB (just keep in mind that it's not entirely true - Dropbox uses GiB and similar units everywhere - including API).

By the way "20 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024" are 20GiB, not 20GB! "20 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000" are 20GB. Don't get confused. 🙂

To select some user, you may use all that UserSelectorArg provides.

Hope this helps.
