Limit offline files to max 10% of computer's hard drive capacity

I'd like to suggest a feature: the ability to limit offline files to 10% of the computer's hard drive capacity. This would be incredibly helpful for managing storage.

This way you avoid completely saturating the disk space, making the PC unusable.

Considering the current size of PC hard drives, the amount of files available offline is certainly sufficient for normal operation.

    Hey ITLab! Hope you’re doing well and thanks for posting here. 

    I know this isn’t exactly what you suggested, but can you take a look at this Help Center article and clarify if it’d still help with what you want to achieve? 

    Let me know, and we’ll go from there.
