U-M Slack: File Storage Limit

Environment

U-M Slack

Issue

What is the file storage limit in U-M Slack?

Resolution

The amount of storage space available in U-M Slack is dependent on the total number of members within the U-M Slack Enterprise Grid and is not limited to any given U-M Slack workspace or member.

• Each member contributes 1 TB of storage space to the entire U-M Slack Enterprise Grid, adding to the overall total storage space available (i.e., Total U-M Slack Storage = 1 TB * Number of U-M Slack Members)
• The storage space for U-M Slack is shared collectively among all U-M Slack workspaces and members
  • Each workspace and member can utilize more than the allotted 1 TB storage space as needed
• Files stored in Google Drive or Dropbox can be added to Slack by installing the Google Drive and/or Dropbox apps in Slack
  • This allows the files to be added to Slack while only storing and maintaining the data within their respective storage services
  • (Please refer to U-M Slack: Integrating Dropbox and Google Drive Storage Apps for more information)
• Messages sent in Slack do not count toward the storage limit, only uploaded files do
