Start tracking file uploads
Organizations created before 29 October 2026 see Start tracking file uploads instead of a number the first time. Click it to count the files you already store. Counting your files… shows while it runs. It can take a few minutes, and you can leave the page in the meantime. Organizations created after that are tracked from the start.
What counts toward storage
When a form saves its responses to a Zite database, each uploaded file is copied into the database, so the record keeps working even if the submission is deleted. Records saved before 29 October 2026 still link to the form’s file instead.
PDFs generated by Fillout forms aren’t stored. They’re rebuilt from your document template each time their link is opened.
When form uploads are deleted
A file uploaded to a form is deleted automatically when its submission is deleted, or when the form is emptied from the Trash. Moving a form to the Trash doesn’t delete its files.Files in Zite workspaces
Organization admins can find, preview, and delete the files stored in each Zite workspace from its Files page in the workspace sidebar. It lists files uploaded to the workspace’s database and apps, not form uploads. A file a record still uses can’t be deleted there. To permanently delete a file from a Zite database, see Delete uploaded files in the Zite Help Centre.Related articles
