Over time, your company will accumulate a lot of data in your Zendesk Support account. This data is important to you for a lot of reasons. That's why all Support customers have the ability to store ticket data and files, with limits that vary by plan. These limits exist to ensure the reliability and usability of Zendesk services. Most Support customers will never use all of their storage.

Storage consists of two parts:

• Ticket data storage:the total size of allstorage objectsin Support.
• File storage:the total size of all the files attached to storage objects in Support.

These are the default storage limits:

Each ticket in your Zendesk Support account is composed of multiple data storage objects. For example, a ticket is composed of metadata, and then depending on what’s included in the ticket, a number of additional data storage objects such as attachments, events, tags, and so on. If you usecustom objects, each custom object record is calculated as 2 KB of storage. Storage requirements fororiginal email messagesare not included.

To help you monitor storage usage on your account, Zendesk provides a storage usage dashboard. You can use this dashboard to view your current usage and compare it against your storage limits.

To monitor storage usage

1. In Admin Center, clickHome in the sidebar.

   A summary of your storage usage appears on the Admin Center home page.

   

   The summary shows your ticket data storage and file storage as compared with the amount of storage you have remaining. If you are over your storage limit, you’ll see a warning symbol (!) in the summary.

2. To view more details about your storage usage, clickView details.

   You can also follow these instructions to view storage usage details:

   • InAdmin Center, clickAccountin the sidebar, then selectUsage > Storage.

   The detailed storage dashboard includes a summary of your usage, along with a chart for ticket data storage and a chart for file storage.

   

   

   The storage dashboard is refreshed every 24 hours to keep you current on your usage. The graph shows your usage over time as compared with your storage limit. The chart line is blue until you use over 80% of your storage. At that point, it turns to orange. If you exceed your storage limit, the line changes to red.

   You can hover your mouse over each data point to get more information. You can also use the drop-down menus to show the chart by time window and granularity.

   Time window options include:

   • Last 7 days
   • Last 30 days
   • Last 90 days
