Storage usage is based on files and data kept for your Moodle site.
Common contributors include:
- Course files, folders, pages, media, and uploaded resources.
- Assignment submissions and teacher feedback files.
- H5P, SCORM, quiz, and activity-related files.
- User files and profile files.
- Backups, imports, exports, or restore artifacts while they remain in the site or managed storage area.
- Generated files that Moodle keeps for activities, reports, or previews.
Files exported to your own external object storage should be treated separately from files still stored inside the Moodle site.
If storage looks unexpectedly high, review large course files and backup files first. Contact support if you need help identifying large files or deciding whether an upgrade is needed.
