💾 Storage
In 30 seconds
- You see how much space your workshop is using and how much your plan includes, with a coloured bar.
- Below, the breakdown: what takes up the most and the 10 largest files.
- At 100% only new uploads are blocked: what's stored and the rest of the application keep working.
- To make room: delete the heaviest files, click Recalculate or upgrade your plan.
Only the Owner and Administrators see this section.
The bar
| Colour | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Green | Below 75% | You're comfortable: you have plenty of room left. |
| 🟠 Amber | From 75% | You're starting to approach the limit. A good moment for a clear-out. |
| 🟠 Orange | From 90% | Nearly full: very little space left. |
| 🔴 Red | At 100% | Full. New uploads are blocked until you free up space or upgrade your plan. |
If your plan includes unlimited storage, the bar says so and there's no cap.
The breakdown
Below the bar you have everything, without opening anything:
- Space used: what's used, what's available and your plan's total.
- Designs: how much your 3D models take up (STL/3MF). It's almost always what uses the most space.
- Everything else: the rest, with a mini-bar splitting it between Orders, Quotes, Products, Expenses, Inventory, Prints and Other (only the ones that take up space show up).
- Largest files: the ten that take up the most, from biggest to smallest. Each row says what it belongs to (a design, an order, a product…) and, if you click it, takes you to that item to review it or free up space.
The figures are calculated when you enter the section, so they reflect what you have right now. If you deleted files and the space doesn't drop, Recalculate counts it again.
Running out of space?
When you approach the limit, BolloPrint warns you with a message at the top. The owner also gets a warning email once a month while you stay above 75%.
The cap is a soft limit
Even if you reach 100%, only new uploads are blocked. Everything you already have stored is kept intact, and orders, quotes, finance, inventory and the rest carry on working normally. You just won't be able to upload new files until you make room.

| Way | When | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Delete the heaviest files | Always the first thing | Look at Largest files: they're almost always 3D models (STL/3MF) from designs you no longer use. Click each row to go to the item and delete it. The counter drops on its own and, if you were blocked, it unblocks instantly, with no waiting. |
| Click Recalculate | You've deleted several files and the space used isn't dropping as you expected | It counts what you're really using again and brings the figure up to date. |
| Upgrade your plan | You need more space permanently | Change plan from My account (on the web). The new limit applies within seconds, with no waiting and nobody to notify. See Subscription and billing. |
