Feature availability


Overview
In Zoho Connect, admins can monitor, control, and optimize how storage space is used across the network. It gives clear visibility into what’s consuming storage and tools to take action before limits become a problem.

Only network admins can access and manage storage settings.

Storage breakdown

Storage usage is categorized so you can easily identify what’s taking up space. Common categories include:
  • Attachments
  • Images and videos
  • Other shared resources


To manage storage effectively, you can use available filters, date and size sorting options.

If you want to free up space,

  • Review large files and remove outdated or unnecessary data

  • Delete unused attachments from posts or groups

  • Encourage members to clean up old or duplicate files

AlertDeleting content permanently removes it from the network.
Use filters and sorting to find the exact files you’re looking for.



  1. Use the time filter to list data by date: last 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, a custom range, or all time.
  2. Use the sort option to arrange data by when it was added: recent, old, largest, or smallest.
  3. Use the module filter to find data across modules. For example, a category in Forums or media files from a specific group wall.
