Storage Units

A Storage Unit (SU) is the unit of storage capacity in Kumoy. Vectors and rasters uploaded to Kumoy use your available SU.

Each plan includes a base SU allowance, which is consumed as you store data. For the SU included with each plan, see Plan Limits.

Important

Uploading Japan all cities data to Kumoy consumes about 27 SU.

Data That Consumes SU#

Vector and raster data stored in Kumoy is the main consumer of SU.

• Vectors uploaded from QGIS
• Vectors created in QGIS and saved to Kumoy
• Vector layers converted to Kumoy vectors when saving a map
• Rasters uploaded from QGIS

Purchase Additional Storage#

If you run out of capacity, some plans allow you to purchase additional SU to expand your available storage.

For purchase steps, see Update Plan & Add-ons. To check your current SU usage and where you stand against your plan limits, see Usage and Capacity Management.

Tips for Managing Usage#

• Delete unused data: Review and clean up vectors and rasters you're no longer using to reclaim capacity.
• Remove unnecessary attributes: Fewer attribute fields mean a smaller data size. Use the Delete fields or Refactor fields processing tools in QGIS.
• Reduce vertex density: For high-density polygon layers, use tools like Simplify coverage in the processing toolbox to reduce vertex count and file size.
