Storage Management

Frappe Drive lets organizations control how storage is allocated across teams and users. Each team can have its own total storage limit as well as a per-user storage quota.

Storage limits can be configured from the Drive Team DocType, while the Storage page provides a detailed breakdown of how storage is being used.

Storage Limits

Each Drive Team can define storage quotas to help manage disk usage across the organization.

The following limits can be configured:

• Total Team Storage — The maximum storage available for the entire team.
• Per-user Storage — The maximum storage each team member can use.

These limits are configured from the Drive Team DocType in Desk.

Viewing Storage Usage

The Storage page provides a detailed overview of storage consumption for both your team and your personal files.

The page includes:

• Overall team storage usage
• Your personal storage usage
• A breakdown of the largest files consuming storage

This information makes it easier to identify files that can be deleted or archived to free up space.

Adding Storage

Frappe Cloud

On Frappe Cloud, storage limits are determined by the hosting plan you choose.

• Each hosting plan includes a predefined amount of disk space.
• Additional storage can be purchased using disk storage add-ons when required.

Self-hosted Deployments

For self-hosted installations, storage limits are managed through the Drive Team DocType.

Behind the scenes, Frappe Drive stores these limits in the site’s site_config, allowing administrators to control available storage without modifying application code.

Best Practices

• Review storage usage regularly to identify large files that are no longer needed.
• Configure per-user storage limits to ensure fair allocation across the team.
• Upgrade your Frappe Cloud plan or add storage before reaching your storage limit.
• Archive or remove unused files periodically to maintain available storage.
• Monitor team storage trends to plan future capacity requirements.
