Estimate digital matter storage with working versions, retained copies and an entered growth reserve.
What would you like to do next?
Turn file-volume assumptions into a transparent storage estimate
List anonymous file groups with matter count, average megabytes per matter, working versions and retained copies. The calculator applies an entered indexing and growth reserve, shows estimated gigabytes by group and compares the total with verified usable storage. Separating general, contract, dispute and media-heavy files makes the largest storage drivers visible.
Apply legal hold, confidentiality and approved retention controls
A capacity estimate does not decide what may be copied, retained or deleted. Jurisdiction, client terms, legal hold, encryption, access, audit, backup, recovery and secure disposal requirements govern the records. Use approved repositories and records schedules for every live file; never upload file contents here.
Frequently asked questions
How is estimated storage calculated?
Matters, average megabytes, working versions and retained copies are multiplied, then the entered reserve is added.
Does the tool define retention or deletion dates?
No. Approved records schedules, legal holds and qualified review determine retention and disposal.
Should file names or contents be entered?
No. Anonymous group counts and average sizes are sufficient for this browser estimate.
