Need your files to stick around after a server shuts down? That’s what Persistent Storage Volumes are for. They let you save and reuse your data, models, and code across multiple sessions and servers, without needing to re-upload or re-download.

What Are Persistent Storage Volumes?

A volume is like a personal hard drive in the cloud. Unlike a server, which gets shut down and wiped after use, a volume stays alive and retains your data.

Use volumes to:

• Store datasets and pretrained models

• Save code, logs, and checkpoints

• Share files across team members and servers

How to Create a Storage Volume

1. Go to the Storage tab in the left sidebar

2. Select Create Storage

3. Give your storage volume a name

4. Choose a size for your storage volume

5. Select Create Storage

How to Attach a Storage Volume to a Server

1. Go to the Servers tab in the left sidebar

2. Create a new server

3. In the Edit Configurations portion, select Advanced Options

4. In the Storage Volume segment, select the storage volume you want to attach

Reusing Volumes Across Servers

You can attach the same volume to as many servers as you want.

This lets you:

• Continue working on the same files from different machines

• Swap GPU types without losing progress

• Collaborate across team members with shared volumes

What Happens If I Run Out of Disk Space?

Your account is currently configured with a storage limit that varies by organization. If you require additional disk space, please contact your Administrator.

You will automatically receive notifications as your disk space approaches its limit.

Can I Sync my Storage to Another Existing Cloud Provider?
