Hello dajan, Hugh and I had talked about your suggestion earlier. He already posted his response. Updating existing quota is tricky as there is currently no way to see in a big list which quotas are allocated to users (unless you have database access). Therefore, updating the existing quotas across the board may not be beneficial, if e.g. 50 users have 1 GB and now have 2 GB, but 10 people already have 10 GB of space. The latter would be reduced to 2 GB.
One possibility could be to provide the admin with a checkbox "Do you want to update existing quotas? Please be aware that all quotas set for individuals (higher and lower than the new quota) will be overwritten." Most likely, 90%+ this will be fine as institutions probably give the same quota to everybody, but we should alert the admin to the possibility that there may be other quotas as well. As these are the default quotas, a site admin (or institution admin if allowed) can still manually update individuals.

In the master branch you add new quota policy for groups and institutions. The help text says that the new quota enter here will affect only new group's member or new institution's member; previous group/institution's member will see their quota remained the same as before. This is pretty good if the previous quota is higher than the new policy but what happens if the quota decided by the group ou institution admin is higher ? Normaly Mahara should then update the quota to the higher number. If it is not the way Mahara behaves it should. If it is already the case, the help section has to be updated to explain that if previous quota for already enrolled users will remain the same or upgraded if the new setting is higher than before.
