Dissmiss upload of files exceeding free quota BEFORE starting upload #51977

Description

@bentuna

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When uploading a file that is bigger than the free quota of the owner of the target directory, the upload is starting and actually uploading for quite a while and uploads multiple Gigabytes before it finally fails.

Describe the solution you'd like
When the user is trying to upload a file that is bigger than the free quota of the owner of the target directory, the upload should not be started at all and instead a warning like "Upload not possible - not enough free quota" should be displayed.

Additional context
This issue is present in the web interface as well as with the sync client.

The behaviour is especialy problematic because the sync client tries the upload again periodically and so it uploads a potentially large amount of data over and over again. That drains the battery of the client device and utilizes bandwith on the server.
