Understanding storage in CRM Online

  • Article

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online allocates an initial 5 GB of storage. This storage is pooled and shared by all service users. In addition, a company may purchase more Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online storage in gigabyte increments charged monthly, currently USD 9.99 per GB per month. Storage is shared across the organization and is not a per-user add-on.

To check the database storage usage:

  1. Click Settings 
  2. Click Administration 
  3. Click Resources In Use
  4. The usage is listed right under your organisation name (under the heading Storage)

If you get close to the limit of your storage space, several ways to reduce the amount of space used exists:

  1. Delete bulk e-mail and workflow instances using a bulk deletion job
  2. Evaluate and delete suspended workflows
  3. Remove e-mail attachments using Advanced Find
  4. Remove e-mail messages with attachments using a bulk deletion job
