Salesforce gives every org a fixed amount of data and file storage — and law firms fill it faster than almost anyone, thanks to years of matters, contacts, activities, and documents. When you hit the ceiling, records fail to save, and buying more storage from Salesforce is expensive. The good news: most firms can reclaim huge amounts of space without spending a cent.
Where your storage actually goes
Salesforce splits storage in two: data storage (records like contacts, matters, and activities, roughly 2 KB each) and file storage (attachments and documents). Firms usually run out of data storage first, quietly, as old records and system-generated activities pile up over the years.
How to reclaim space
- Archive closed matters and old activities to external or low-cost storage.
- Delete or merge duplicate and junk records.
- Move large documents to integrated external storage instead of Salesforce Files.
- Use Big Objects for high-volume historical data you rarely touch.
- Clean up old email logs, field history, and debug data.
Fix the cause, not just the symptom
Buying more storage is a band-aid — the real fix is an archiving and data-management strategy so storage stays healthy as your firm grows. That keeps Salesforce fast, cheaper to run, and reliable.
