 Hi.

 Thanks for the positive feedback and the thoughtful suggestion!

 I’d suggest displaying the notice only when a site’s available upload
 space drops below **25%** of its total quota. This way, users receive a
 warning only when it’s truly relevant, avoiding unnecessary clutter for
 those who still have plenty of space.

 A suggestion to do it by using the built-in `get_space_used()` and
 `get_space_allowed()` functions. To make the notice as unobtrusive as
 possible, it should be shown **only on the Media Library admin page**
 (`upload.php`) and **only for subsites**, not the main site.

 A suggestion to do it:
 {{{#!php

 /**
  * Display a warning notice in the Media Library admin page
  * when the available upload space is less than 25% of the total quota.
  *
  * Applies only to subsites in a WordPress Multisite installation.
  */
 add_action('admin_notices', 'custom_disk_space_warning');

 function custom_disk_space_warning() {
     global $pagenow;

     // Only show notice on the Media Library page
     if ($pagenow !== 'upload.php') {
         return;
     }

     // Skip the main site (usually has no quota restrictions)
     if (!is_main_site()) {
         /**
          * Get the total and used upload space for the current site.
          * Both values are in megabytes (MB).
          */
         $space_allowed = get_space_allowed(); // Total quota (MB)
         $space_used    = get_space_used();    // Used space (MB)

         // Ensure quota is set and check if usage exceeds 75%
         if ($space_allowed > 0 && ($space_used / $space_allowed) >= 0.75)
 {
             // Display warning notice if remaining space is below 25%
             echo '<div class="notice notice-
 warning"><p><strong>Warning:</strong> You have used more than 75% of your
 available upload space.</p></div>';
         }
     }
 }

 }}}

 This implementation ensures that the warning is shown **only when
 needed**, and **only in the appropriate context**, providing a better and
 less intrusive experience for multisite administrators.

 Thanks again for raising this—refinements like these really help improve
 usability at scale.

 helpful addition for multisite administrators.

 Media Library notice:

 threshold is reached. This would keep the interface clean for most users
 while still drawing attention when action is needed.
