Unli.ai Shared Disk Storage: Getting Started ​

What is Shared Disk? ​

Unli.ai's shared disk is a built-in, no-configuration-required object storage solution designed to help you quickly start working with documents in your workspace. It provides a convenient and cost-free way to store and manage files for your AI-powered projects.

Key Features ​

Storage Specifications ​

  • Provider: AWS S3 (US East 1 region)
  • File Limit: Maximum of 100 files per workspace
  • Storage Limit: Up to 5 MB per workspace
  • Cost: Completely free with your Unli.ai workspace

Ideal Use Cases ​

  • Proof of concept projects
  • Initial testing and prototyping
  • Small document collections
  • Quick document uploads
  • Learning and exploration

Limitations to Consider ​

While shared disk is excellent for getting started, it comes with some constraints:

  1. File Count Restriction

    • You can store a maximum of 100 files in your workspace or 5Mb (whichever comes first)
    • Once you reach this limit, you'll need to delete existing files

  2. File Size Constraints

    • Individual files are limited to 2 MB
    • Larger documents cannot be uploaded

  3. No Advanced Management Features

    • Basic storage without advanced organizational tools
    • Limited versioning and backup capabilities

Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS) ​

Important: BYOS is only available on paid plans.

If you need more advanced storage capabilities, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan to:

  • Configure custom S3-compatible storage
  • Increase file count and size limits
  • Access advanced storage management features

Supported Storage Providers (Paid Plans) ​

  • Cloudflare R2
  • AWS S3
  • MinIO
  • Backblaze B2
  • Other S3-compatible storage providers

Best Practices for Shared Disk ​

  1. Regularly review and clean up your stored files
  2. Compress documents to maximize the 5 MB file limit
  3. Use shared disk for initial development and testing
  4. Plan for potential workspace upgrades as your project grows

Getting Started ​

Shared disk is automatically configured in your workspace. Simply:

  1. Navigate to the Datasources section
  2. Start uploading documents
  3. No additional setup required

Pro Tip: Keep track of your file count and size to ensure smooth operation within the shared disk limits.
