Your plan sets your Vault storage allowance. Usage includes both your active files and the files and folders retained in Deleted files.
- Ray: 150 GB
- Beam: 750 GB
- Glow: 2 TB
View combined usage and your assigned quota in the Files sidebar or under Settings → Account. The quota is your assigned allowance, not the allowance minus trash usage. For example, a 750 GB account with 3 GB of active files and 2 GB in trash uses 5 GB of 750 GB. See Settings → Plan & Billing for plan details.
Moving files to trash does not free space, and restoring them does not add to combined usage. Permanently deleting trash items, either yourself or through enabled automatic cleanup, releases their storage. Allow the usage display to refresh after permanent deletion.
Shared files count against the quota of the account that owns them. Files uploaded through a file-drop share count against the recipient owner’s quota.
Automatic trash cleanup after 30 days is on by default. To keep trash until you restore or permanently delete it yourself, turn off Files → Files settings → General → Automatically remove deleted files after 30 days. Retained trash still counts toward your quota. See The Trash for timing and recovery details.
Mailbox storage is measured separately by the mail service and is not deducted from the Vault quota. Older file versions remain separately managed and are not included in the active-file-plus-trash usage shown here; the trash cleanup switch does not change their retention rules.
