Overview
#
The
Drop Zone Usage
feature defines how many drop zones you can create and how much storage is available per drop zone.
These limits are determined by your assigned package and are enforced automatically across the platform.
Usage Limits
#
Each package includes:
A maximum number of
active drop zones
you can have at one time
A maximum
storage limit per drop zone
If either limit is reached, you will need to delete existing drop zones or reduce storage usage before continuing.
How Usage is Calculated
#
Each
active drop zone
counts toward your total allowed limit
Each file uploaded contributes to the
storage usage
of that specific drop zone
Storage is calculated per drop zone, not globally across all zones
Monitor Your Usage
#
1
Open Secure File Exchange
Navigate to
Secure File Exchange
from the main navigation menu.
2
View Active Drop Zones
Review your current active drop zones and storage usage allowed
What Happens When Limits Are Reached
#
You cannot create new drop zones once the active limit is reached.
You cannot upload additional files if a drop zone exceeds its storage limit.
Existing drop zones remain accessible until deleted or expired.
Troubleshooting
#
