A: Hi there!

Great question about how our storage system works! Let me clarify exactly what happens when you connect your files to RecordsKeeper.AI.

How Our Storage Works:
Our storage allocation represents the total amount of data we can manage and process for you. The 12GB in Tier 3 means we can handle up to 12GB of your original files from your cloud storage or uploads.

Storage Allocation (Current Model):
1:1 ratio: Currently, our 12GB storage limit means we can process up to 12GB of your original files
Total data management: This represents the raw file size we can transform into our intelligent, searchable system
Future considerations: We're analyzing potential optimizations to this ratio based on our processing capabilities

What You Get Beyond Traditional Storage:
Our storage isn't just file storage—it's intelligent data management that includes:

- AI-powered organization: Automatic categorization and tagging
- Instant searchability: Natural language queries across all your documents
- Compliance automation: Built-in regulatory tracking and reporting
- Smart retrieval: Conversational access to your entire document library

For Your 500GB Collection:
With Tier 3's 12GB allocation, you could process 12GB of your most critical documents. For larger volumes, we offer additional storage at discounted rates specifically for our community.

Value Proposition:
While 12GB might seem limited compared to raw cloud storage, remember that you're getting structured, intelligent, instantly accessible data rather than static file storage. We're far beyond traditional file storage due to our recordkeeping intelligence and advanced functionality.

Scaling Up:
If you need more capacity, I'd be happy to discuss additional storage options with special pricing for your requirements.
