# Unlimited Storage and Bandwidth Limits Box advertises as having unlimited storage, but it's not as straightforward as having no limits. ### Unlimited storage While it is technically true that an account can add unlimited files, users are subject to bandwidth restrictions for uploading and downloading files that refresh each month. So although there are no limits to the amount of data in an account, adding, downloading, or removing data are subject to a bandwidth limit, which does have limitations. ### Bandwidth Limit The terms and conditions of Box have a [Fair Use Policy](https://www.box.com/legal/fairusepolicy) outlining what they consider fair use. As of this writing, the current bandwidth unit is 1TB per paid user. This means that in order to truly take advantage of unlimited storage, such as having an Exabyte of storage uploaded, it would take an organization of 10,000 users over 8 years of **uploads only** to have all the data stored in Box. As this is not a hard limit but rather subject to a fair-use policy, it may be possible to increase the 1TB limit by talking with an account representative. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
