Overview of Storage Usage in CloudSpot
CloudSpot provides tools to monitor your storage usage, which vary depending on your subscription plan. Users on metered plans (e.g., Lite) can view their storage usage directly, while Unlimited Plan users may need to take additional steps to estimate or verify their usage.
Checking Storage Usage by Plan Type
