Use Case: Would like to sync an entire season or even an entire show - all at once for convenience.   Issue: Uses too much, or even run out of disk space when syncing a lot of content.   Possible Solution: Allow a size limit setting for the Sync Transcode Folder.     My understanding is that the temp files are removed as they are copied to the target device. A limit of the folder size would allow you sync a bunch of content, but only consume disk space as you watch the shows.   Thanks.     Original idea credit: [https://forums.plex.tv/topic/66131-plex-using-way-too-much-disk-space/?p=383510](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/66131-plex-using-way-too-much-disk-space/?p=383510) ---

This is an important problem for me... Adding a way to limit space used for sync would be great. In my opinion, a way to limit the number of synchronised videos (by user) would be perfect :) ---

2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@Limiting number of Plex Sync TV episodes by total size](https://forums.plex.tv/t/limiting-number-of-plex-sync-tv-episodes-by-total-size/71063): > > Hi,   When you choose an entire TV series or a season of a TV show to sync, it allows you to limit how many episodes it syncs by: 1. No limit 2. By # of episodes 3. By duration   What I am interested in it being able to do is limit by the amount of size those episodes would take up on my device - so if I want a maximum of 1.5GB of my iPad's space to be taken up by Archer episodes, I don't want to have to guess how many episodes that would be after transcoding.   I imagine this would mos…
