What is the Additional Storage extra?

As standard, your MM Platform comes with 1000MB of storage (more information about this can be found in our How much storage does my Platform have?  help guide) which for many groups is enough.

If your site has a lot of photo, video, and music content, you may want to upgrade this to Additional Storage space. You can check how much storage you have left on your Platform by going to the Admin dashboard and then selecting the Hosting Account Status page.

If you add the Additional storage space extra this will give you unlimited storage space to be used for items stored on the groups Platform itself e.g. documents, photos, videos etc. However, the space on the server allocated to emails will still be limited. If you have set up your Platform to send emails using the held on server option then the emails within those mailboxes will impact the amount of storage space you have on your Platform. As standard each mailbox is given 100mb of space which can be adjusted to a maximum size of 1000mb at no additional cost. If you would like us to increase the mailbox size to 1000mb then contact us on platform@makingmusic.org.uk.
