Hey there! I know my free app has a 100MB storage limit. I would like to know how much is currently being used. Perhaps we could have an indicator like the rows usage progress bar: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/2/2b4b2ac28665236b015ff2c87e51b3e3d56a251a.png) But, to solve it for now, can I get this information through any other way? Maybe someone I could email… ---

I just got the email that I’m over the storage of 100mb. I’m not exactly what store is beign used? I have a few images uploaded to the image storage built into GLide, but most of my content is in my own Google Drive which surely doesn’t count, yes? ---

We only count files stored in Glide, not in your Google Drive. We should have a way for you to monitor storage tomorrow. ---
