## Description

Currently we're checking quota like this

``` php
$freeSpace = $folderNode->getFreeSpace();

// this is also true if we try to overwrite
// to overwrite a file we need enough free quota for the new data
// otherwise `putContent()` fails
if ($directUploadFile['size'] > $freeSpace) {
	throw new NotEnoughSpaceException('insufficient quota');
}
```

But since there's a possibility that the function `getFreeSpace` might return a negative

So treat a negative return as a `unlimited_space`
