> Trash is now auto-emptied.

After 30 days, IIRC. That's not helpful if you're trying to manage quota now, and certainly isn't an excuse for the truly astonishingly bad UX around the trash bin.

> You can also view objects by the quota they consume at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota

Objects as in individual files. It does not show you which folders are, in aggregate, consuming large amounts of storage. As a result this is utterly useless unless your quota is taken up by a few large objects. I legitimately have no idea what use case they thought they were addressing when they built that view.

I think the UX around the trash bin is pretty good and I've always found the quota pane useful.
