We understand that it can be frustrating to run out of storage when you want to save your latest project. With Cloud Stop Motion, you can store as many frames as you like, but additional storage beyond the free allowance requires a paid plan.
The reason we charge for extra storage is that we rent Microsoft Azure Data Centres to securely store all projects. While we cover some of these costs, providing unlimited free storage isn’t feasible. The sale of storage plans helps fund the ongoing development of Cloud Stop Motion, ensuring we can continue improving your creative experience and introducing new features with regular updates.
How can I make the most of my storage?
Reduce image resolution – Lowering the resolution of your captured frames can help conserve storage space. To adjust this, click the camera icon, go to the settings (cog) tab, and select a lower resolution from the drop-down menu (availability depends on your camera).
Empty your recycle bin – When you delete a project, it is sent to the recycle bin and will continue using storage space until it is removed. Be sure to empty it regularly to free up storage.
Permanently delete frames – If you've deleted frames but your storage still shows the same usage, follow "Have you deleted frames/projects, but your storage is still showing the same as before?!" to ensure they are fully removed.
Estimate your storage needs – If you’re on a storage subscription or considering one, you can find guidance in our FAQ article titled "How much storage do I need?" to help determine the best plan for your projects.
