Feature: Display storage info when hovering over drives in the sidebar (discussion)

[Fefedu973]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

It would allow for a much greater integration in the microsoft ecosystem and to monitor the onedrive usage straight from the app.

Requirements

• Detect when inside a onedrive folder
• Replace the classic path with a onedrive label
• Be able to click on this label to open the "widget"

Thanks for the feedback, I've added this to the project board.

We try to avoid "advertisements" like this in Files. We used to have something similar for all drives in the sidebar, but we removed it due to some issues it was causing. If we get enough interest, we can try to add this back.

I saw that there is a project to display the storage of a cloud drive in the preview panel, like for a classic player. This warning could be added in the preview panel once cloud storage is implemented, as well as an icon change, as in the screenshot, in case of problems.

@Lukiluc29 Agreed.
