HTML 5 File System How to Increase Persistent Storage
Following this tutorial: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/offline_storage#asking_more
When I do
navigator.webkitPersistentStorage.requestQuota(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, console.log.bind(console));
I get output 10737418240 bytes (10.73GB)
, which is the calculated maximum size when using temporary storage:
(available storage space + storage used by apps) * .5
However, I clicked OK to allocate more storage than this. So why don't I get the storage I need?
An app can have a larger persistent storage quota than temporary storage, but you must request storage using the Management API quota and the user must grant you permission to use more space.
I have the same issue posted here Cannot allocate more than 10 GB of persistent HTML5 storage Conclusion: The maximum persistent storage quota is 10 GB and the documentation stating that it is limited by the user's free disk space is incorrect.
