File Storage Management

I see that 1Password Families allows up to1 GB per person. Is there documentation on how to manage our file storage? e.g. current size, largest files, etc.

Could you also address Item History. e.g. if I delete or update files, I still see a reference in the History.

Also, I assume the 1GB limit is against the size of the compressed DB/file(s). But if that's not true, I suppose we should consider compressing some files before we add them.

Please advise.

    Hmm, the limit is 1GB, but we can put in a 2GB file. How does that work? :-D

    So there's a limit, but we have no way of telling how close we are to the limit. Do we simply see a dialog someday when we go to add another file?

    I assume the 1GB limit just applies to the added files and it does not include the space taken by all Items (i.e. Logins, Secure Notes, etc). Is that correct?

    Regarding files that appears in History, are they counted against the 1GB limit? If so, how do I remove them (so that I recover the space)? (If they are not counted against the limit, then it would seem that we could store endless files in History.) ;-D

    Are the files first compressed, and then the compressed size counted against the 1GB limit?

    Hello robert1p! 👋

    Thanks for reaching out! 1Password Families includes 1 GB of storage per person and files can be up to 2 GB in size. You can find documentation here: Save important files in 1Password Support

    There isn't currently a way to check the amount of storage used, I'll let the team know that this is something that you'd like to see.

    Could you also address Item History. e.g. if I delete or update files, I still see a reference in the History.

    Can you tell me a little more about this? If you delete a file from an item then it's expected that you'll still see the file in the item's history so that you can restore a previous version in case you accidentally deleted the file by mistake.
