Used vs. limit

Record what is used—not just what is available.

Zoho CRM separates data storage from file storage. Record used and available values for both.

Historical coverage

Storage size does not equal record age.

The dashboard reflects records and files currently retained. Backup and audit-history availability varies by edition.

Troubleshooting

Common reasons your screen may differ.

Storage is missing+

Confirm the user is an administrator with Data Administration access.

Files dominate usage+

Distinguish CRM attachments from externally linked files.

Later-stage process

Prepare or export data only after authorization.

Zoho CRM export or backup

After approval, export selected modules or request an account backup with files scoped separately.

Permissions and safeguardsObtain administrator approval and define modules, fields, dates, and attachment scope.
