## Description

This plugin allows the admin to set a storage limit (in MB) for each users based
on their role. If the user attempts to upload a file, the plugin will check if the
user meets the maximum amount of storage space and will throw an error.

Error messages can be customized by using the ‘rbsl_sl_error_message’ filter.

Initially, values are set as unlimited. Which means that all users will have unlimited
storage space.

Works perfectly for me, one of its kind, I hope this never gets taken down. I’ve
downloaded a copy in case it does. You need to use a role editor like Members to
grant a user role the ability to upload media for the plugin to work. Thank you 
to the creators!
