It would be great to have more control over the amount of space used on the remote, via the amount of space that is passed to copy or move. + +Beyond that, what would be really cool, is to have something like --limitfiles and --limitsize, to constrain a query by the total number of files, or the total size, especially for certain cloud-based services. That is, cap the query to return a total number of files, regardless of size, along with --greaterthan and --lessthan. + + +"""]]
