If your WordPress site deals with a lot of large files, you might find the need to increase your server's storage capacity. Here's how to increase your disk size from within the Atomic control panel.
Considerations
- If you're dealing with a lot of static files, another option may be to offload those files to your own Amazon S3 bucket with Press3.
- To increase your storage capacity from within Atomic, you will need to make sure that your user has the proper permissions. This means that if you are a collaborator on the account, you will need to have a Sub-Admin or higher role associated with your user.
For more information on collaborators and role permissions, see our Collaborator Management article.
