How much storage you have, and what counts toward it

Storage is the space your stored files take up. Unlike monthly allowances it doesn't reset: it goes down when you delete documents for good. Each person has their own allowance; on Business it's per seat, so every member gets the full 200 GB for the documents they own.

What counts

• Originals of the documents you own: the PDF, Word, Excel or image file you uploaded or created.
• New versions saved by operations that rewrite the file: applying redactions, OCR and scan restoration.
• Saved downloads and copies: each downloaded, shared or filled copy is kept with its document until the document is deleted for good.
• Images, signatures and logos you uploaded.

Each file counts once, even when several versions share it. Files that don't count: temporary uploads to tools (they expire), tool results you didn't save as a document, signing evidence, and documents someone else owns and shared with you.

   Step 1: Delete documents you don't need

   Move them to the trash from My documents. Deleting removes the original and every saved version and download with it.

   Step 2: Empty the trash

   Trashed documents keep using storage until they're erased. Open Trash and choose Empty trash, or wait: trashed documents are erased automatically 30 days after you delete them.
