Key notes

If you’re using the free version ofSlack, you might run into a common problem: thestorageused for your messages will run out.

Here’s something you should know: If you’re looking for ways to expand yourstorageby changing settings or other characteristics of the app, you won’t be able to do that.

How can I get more storage on Slack?

1. Upgrade your account

The first and easiest method to get more storage space for your Slack account is to upgrade to the premium version of the service. Here are the steps to do it:

2. Sign up for a premium account

The second way to have a bigger storage space is to choose a premium plan from the very start.

This is almost the same as upgrading, the difference being that you choose a paid package when you sign up forSlack.

In terms of the extra space you receive, there is no difference between how much you get from subscribing to a premium program from the start or somewhere along the way.

However, if you plan on saving money and you know you won’t need too much space, you might as well go for the free version, and use the next method.

3. Free up some of the space you already used

To delete items that you have uploaded, simply follow these steps:

If you plan on deleting someone else’s files, simply chooseAll filesinstead ofYour Filesin step 2.

By following any of the steps mentioned above, you should be able to gain more storage space overSlack.
