This is a great start for our local salesforce community. Here are some updates I promised the group. Storage Enhancements coming Winter 09 Release (October): Winter 09 introduces cost-effective improvements to storage management. Salesforce has increased default file storage limits and made it more economical to store files as attachments, in the Documents tab, or in Salesforce Content. Previously, all organizations received general storage, complimentary document storage, and if applicable, Salesforce Content storage. Now, Salesforce storage is divided into two categories: data storage and file storage. File storage includes files in attachments, the Documents tab, and Salesforce Content. Data storage includes all other records. Existing customers will receive data storage and file storage amounts equal to TWICE your general storage. For example, if your organization had 1 GB of general storage in Summer 08, in Winter 09 you now have 1 GB of data storage and 1 GB of file storage for 2 GB of total storage. To view your organizations storage usage, click Setup ➤ Data Management ➤ Storage Usage.

Existing customers will receive data storage and file storage
amounts equal to TWICE your general storage.
