Automated MEGA Storage Quota Alerts
Every night, WebRun signs in to MEGA, reads storage used and transfer used against your account plan, works out how fast each is being consumed and how many days remain, lists the largest folders and the space sitting in the bin, logs the trend in Airtable, and files the record in Google Drive.
How do I get warned before my cloud storage quota runs out?
WebRun signs in to MEGA every night and reads storage and transfer used against your plan's quotas. It works out the consumption rate, calculates days remaining, lists the largest folders and the recoverable bin space, and logs the trend in Airtable, so you are warned days before an upload fails mid backup.
- A days remaining figure sits next to every quota, not just a percentage
- The largest folders and recoverable bin space arrive with the warning
- Transfer limits are watched alongside storage, so backups do not fail mid run

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it delete files or empty the bin?
No. WebRun never deletes a file, empties the rubbish bin, or upgrades your plan. It reports how much space could be recovered and leaves every deletion to you.
How does it work out days remaining?
It compares tonight's used figures against recent nights to get a consumption rate, then divides the remaining quota by that rate. A backup that suddenly grows shortens the estimate the same night.
Does it warn on transfer as well as storage?
Yes. Both are read every night against their own quota, because a transfer limit hit mid backup fails an upload just as surely as a full drive does.
