Assume someone shares a folder with me, he remains the owner of the folder. Then I put some (many) files into this folder, of which I am and remain the owner. Then that someone revokes my access to said folder.
Now, where can I access these files in a useful way? I know that I can still access the file from the "Quota" list, but only the large ones can be accessed in a useful way, the smaller ones are somewhere much further down and mixed into all other files.
