Storage Used in LimeSurvey Header Bar

Storage Used in LimeSurvey Header Bar

Definition

The "Storage used" indicator in LimeSurvey's admin interface displays your current storage consumption against your plan's maximum limit. Every file you or your participants upload to the installation (pictures, documents, videos) is included here.

Key Points

  • Location: Top-right corner of the admin interface
  • Consequences of exceeding limits: If you exceed the storage limit, all surveys which contain file upload question types will be locked and you will not be able to upload further files in the administration.

Related Actions

Users can free storage space by deleting responses and surveys. If you export a survey archive first to preserve that data, note that uploaded files are not automatically included and must be managed separately.
