Storage for Xray is primarily made up of attachments. These include attachments in test steps and evidence in execution results. Xray data is stored separately in a dedicated database and does not count for the attachment storage limit.
Before 20/06/2020, Xray attachments were stored in Jira issues (namely Tests and Test Executions). Because the attachments would often clog these issues, and also use storage space in Jira, we have since started to manage the storage for Xray attachments.
Attachments created before 20/06/2020 are still stored in the JIRA issues and will not be migrated to Xray storage.
Attachments are also included in the Xray backup: Creating a Backup.
Storage Limit
The storage limit is 50GB per Xray instance for Xray Standard and 3TB for Xray Enterprise. This means that if you have multiple Jira instances with Xray installed, each instance includes their own set of storage.
What happens if I exceed my storage limit?
The storage limits are not currently enforced. If your Xray installation exceeds the storage limit, we won’t cancel your subscriptions or remove any data, as long as usage is in accordance with our acceptable use policy.
Keep in mind we're planning to enforce storage limits soon. We’ll let you know ahead of time in case you want to upgrade.
How do I track storage?
We will soon release a feature that will enable Jira administrators to track the storage on the App settings.
