Storage Limits
Understand storage quotas, file size limits, and how to manage your space
Storage Overview
Your account includes cloud storage for 3D model files, with limits based on your subscription tier.
Storage Includes
Storage by Tier
Different subscription tiers offer different storage capacities and file size limits.
Starter Tier
FreeTotal Storage
10 GB
Max File Size
50 MB
Perfect for hobbyists and small collections. Store approximately 200+ average STL files.
Premium Tier
Basic / ProTotal Storage
50 GB
Max File Size
100 MB
Great for professionals and growing businesses. Store 1,000+ models with room for larger files and assemblies.
Enterprise Tier
BusinessTotal Storage
250 GB
Max File Size
500 MB
Designed for high-volume production and large file libraries. Handle complex assemblies, scans, and massive collections.

Per-File Size Limits
Each individual file must be within your tier's maximum file size limit.
How Limits Work
- •Each file is checked individually during upload
- •Files exceeding the limit are rejected before upload starts
- •You can upload multiple files as long as each is under the limit
- •Total storage consumed counts toward your overall storage quota
Example Scenarios
Starter Tier (50 MB limit)
✓Can upload: 45 MB STL file
✗Cannot upload: 75 MB high-resolution scan
Premium Tier (100 MB limit)
✓Can upload: 85 MB textured 3MF file
✗Cannot upload: 150 MB assembly STEP file
Enterprise Tier (500 MB limit)
✓Can upload: 450 MB complex assembly with textures
✗Cannot upload: 600 MB extremely detailed scan
Managing Your Storage
Reduce File Sizes
- •Optimize meshes: Reduce polygon count in CAD software
- •Remove details: Simplify geometry that won't be visible when printed
- •Compress files: Use ZIP archives for multiple files
- •Resize images: Compress model preview images to 800x800px
Delete Unused Models
Regularly review and remove models you no longer need:
- •Old prototype versions after finalizing designs
- •Test uploads and practice files
- •Discontinued or obsolete products
- •Duplicate files uploaded by mistake
Upgrade Your Tier
If you consistently need more storage:
- •Starter → Premium: 5x more storage (50 GB), 2x larger files (100 MB)
- •Premium → Enterprise: 5x more storage (250 GB), 5x larger files (500 MB)
- •Visit Settings → Billing to upgrade your subscription
Storage Tips & Tricks
File Format Selection
STL - Smallest
Binary STL files are typically the smallest format for mesh-only models
3MF - Medium
Compressed format with metadata - good balance of features and size
OBJ/STEP - Larger
Larger files due to additional data (textures, precision CAD data)
Strategic File Management
- •Keep only production-ready files in the cloud
- •Store design iterations locally, upload only final versions
- •Archive rarely-used models to local backup, delete from cloud
- •Avoid uploading source files (Fusion 360, Blender) - upload only printable formats
Storage Troubleshooting
Upload Rejected - File Too Large
Error: File exceeds maximum size for your tier
Solutions:
- •Reduce mesh resolution in your CAD software
- •Simplify geometry or remove unnecessary details
- •Convert to a more compressed format (STL to 3MF)
- •Upgrade to a higher tier for increased file size limits
Storage Full
Error: Cannot upload - storage quota exceeded
Solutions:
- •Delete unused or old models to free up space
- •Remove large files you no longer need
- •Compress images and optimize file sizes
- •Upgrade to Premium or Enterprise for more storage
Storage Widget Shows Wrong Amount
Note: Storage widget currently shows demo data
The storage tracking feature will be implemented in a future update to show accurate real-time usage. For now, the widget displays example values (2.4 GB / 10 GB).
