We're in the On-Demand environment and the Sugar Insights shows our File system Size is 90% of the allocation and the Database size is 61% of the allocation.
The Database size has been reduced in recent months because of our clean-up project (deleting very old and no longer useful records). The File System size continues to grow.
What can be done to reduce the size of the File System?
Hi Bud Hartley,
I am excited to share that we now have an add-on for one of our most popular plug-ins, Upsert Deduplicate, to address this exact need! The new File Deduplication add-on scans common and custom modules in Sugar to identify what duplicate files exist and, either manually or automatically, consolidates the storage to a single file while retaining all the original Sugar records referencing that file. For customers who archive a lot of email to their CRM, this add-on is a must-have for keeping your expenses on cloud storage to a minimum.
The add-on also provides analytics to provide you insight on how much space you have saved with the plug-in, how much you can save, and what the most duplicated files are in your system.
In our tests with a customer who moderately archives email to Sugar, our File Deduplication add-on was able to reduce 20+% in data storage and 65+% in number of files on disk.
If you'd like to learn more about the plug-in and the File Deduplication add-on, please reach out via our website for a demo or trial!

Hi John Kitsmiller,
With Upsert Deduplicate, we consciously chose the add-on route when adding significant new pieces of functionality (Cross-Module Detection and File Deduplication) to keep the base plug-in more affordable at $1,499 per year. I understand that may still seem out of your price range. From our experience, saving costs on things like storage and having a much improved data hygiene make this a positive investment for a company of any size.
We are keen on providing continuous value with all our offerings. That means testing and, as necessary, updating plug-ins to work with each quarterly release of Sugar, adding customer-requested features, and integrating with new features in Sugar as they become available.
Everyone has a budget to work within, and we're happy to help illustrate the value received by investing in any of our plugins.

I may have missed something.
This is the pricing I see on your website. That's different than what you mentioned above.
