When syncing on iOS, it would be great if Plex could show the estimated size of the proposed sync and the amount of size available on the device, so users can make educated decisions about how much of a series to sync without having the sync fail midway because the device is out of space. This feature would also ideally add a warning when a sync has been created that is estimated to exceed the space left on the device. ---

Especially needed, because once the storage is full the sync process doesn’t seem to release any storage when a synced item is deleted. ---
