744010 - YouSendIt management pane does not display used or remaining storage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

The Dropbox management pane shows us a nice graphic for how much space is used, and how much is remaining.

YouSendIt's, on the other hand, is quite empty.

I do know that YSI does not currently give us any information on how much space the user has remaining - we only get how much they've used.  If I recall, this is what prevented us from using the graph.

If YSI doesn't deliver the information we need in time, we should just display to the user how much space they've used.

I have that completely backwards:

What we DO have:
- How much space the user has remaining (it's the account.availableStorage value passed back when getting user information)

What we DON'T have:
- How much space the user has been allocated to begin with.

bienvenu:

Having switched to the production server, I still don't see any information coming back to us regarding how much space the user was originally allocated.

Can we assume at this point that we simply will not get that information?

Blake:

If it turns out that we can't get the initial allocated space for the user, would something like this suffice for YouSendIt?

I can ask again exactly which information we'll get, and when.

I have asked YSI about this yesterday: "I’ll let you know the status on the API tomorrow" was the answer.

If we get the values we need from YouSendIt, this patch displays the graph, etc.

Yeah, if they don't give us the information we need, then we can't really do much more than that.  f=me!

Later,

Something else I've just noticed - the availableStorage information we get back from YouSendIt doesn't seem to change.

I just uploaded a 50MB file, and my availableStorage is still at 2147483648 bytes (2GB).

Are we misinterpreting what availableStorage means?  Or are they just not updating how much space we've used?

I'm clearly not expressing myself well - YSI is not returning "real" values for those fields yet. They're working on it.

Ah, gotcha, understood.

The graphing code is copied verbatim from Dropbox's implementation (we should probably abstract that out down the line...)

Should we try to land this, and prepare a patch for if YouSendIt can't get those values to us in time?

We'll want this for TB 13 / 14.
