Storage Management 💾
In this update, we have added a brand new storage management feature in EasySocial to allow you to restrict storage size of users via the ACL in EasySocial. Along with that, the new storage management functionality also provides a nice indicator to inform the user when their storage is almost full.
To benefit from this, you could utilize PayPlans to allow users to upgrade their storage size. Think of this as a similar way of how your web hosting / server hosting company bills you when you want to upgrade your storage size.
Apart from the storage management, we have also added some enhancements in EasySocial and implemented several fixes to address issues from its prior release:
