Existing Plesk Features DISK SPACE PER DOMAIN

1. Depending on view

In Plesk you have way to view domains settings.
As see from below in Plesk control panel -> Tools and Settings -> Interface Management

As power user you cannot filter disk usage

As Service provide you can filter disk usage

2. Report

Plesk control panel -> Tools and Settings -> Summary Report

Gives you information on how much a domain uses and some information where but no filtering options

Individual domain Disk usage

1. Using power user

There is an option in Plesk Panel to get disk usage (and traffic) for current subscription. See top right for corner for current subscription

No way to filter emails on disk usage but disk usage is visible but is available per inbox
No way to filter databases on disk usage but disk usage is available per db

2. Using service provider view

Same statistics as above are available Plesk control panel -> subscription -> desired subscription -> statistics tab

Or from Plesk control panel -> Domains -> desired domain -> view more statistics

No way to filter emails on disk usage but disk usage is visible but is available per inbox
No way to filter databases on disk usage but disk usage is available per db

3. Disk usage per file/folder

From Plesk interface there is no way to filter folder but you can filter files and from files manager there is a way to calculate disk usage per folder
Select files and, from more click calculate size and will return the size of each individual folder/file

after clicking calculate

Note that this doesn't filter folders after disk usage only files.

Re Review of https://www.plesk.com/extensions/diskspace-usage-viewer/

Tried on my test server.

1. app uses root level permissions.
2. users are limited to removing files from their own webspace
   2.1. they can remove any file from their webspace regardless of owner or permission.
3. if admin they could delete anything.

so far I still say it's to dangerous for most users
