how much space do I get with my free salesforce licenses?
Great question -and the answer is surprising when you start adding things up!
If you are a nonprofit customer using the Enterprise Edition, you get:
- 1GB of “general” storage
- 250MB of document storage.
If you’re managing your music or picture collection on your computer at home or at work, you know that you can burn through 1GB pretty fast. But when all you’re storing in Salesforce is text based data - name, comments, giving history, contact history - well - that takes almost no space at all.
We’ve helped many nonprofits use Salesforce, and we’re using it, too. And no one has hit more than 5% of that storage limit. When I try this on for size, it helps to to remember:
- One gigabyte can hold over 1,000 novels at 100,000 words per novel
- Is about 18 hours of MP3 music
- Is about 12 hours of Flash video
- The Human Genome is less than a gigabyte of data!
Of course, if you are adding documents, pictures, or other files to your Salesforce database - you’ll want to monitor your usage - and make sure that you touch base with the Salesforce Foundation to inquire about purchasing more if needed!
