Refreshing Storage Usage

UI Steps
UI Step

The first time you access the Storage screen (Figure 2), your attachments list will be empty. So, the first thing to do is to click the Refresh Storage Usage button (Figure 2 - 4) to populate your attachments on the attachments list (Figure 2 - 7). Otherwise, you won't be able to see them listed (Figure 2 -7).

UI Step

After clicking the Refresh Storage Usage button (Figure 2 - 4), a warning message is displayed indicating that this process can take a while, depending on the number of attachments on the instance. Once the operation is completed, the attachment list will be displayed (Figure 2 - 7).

UI Step

 After the refresh is complete, you will be able to see the current storage usage, by file type, together with the percentage and limit according to your license (Figure 2 - 5; 10).

Info

Due to platform constraints and performance, the refresh option is time-gated so as not to allow multiple or single-user abuse of this feature.
The remaining time will be displayed until a new refresh is possible.
