DataErai keeps two simple ideas between you and the bytes: repositories and allocations. Most of the time storage is set up for you; you’ll mainly notice it when choosing where new data goes or checking how much space you’ve used.

Repositories

A repository is a storage backend available to your organization. You don’t manage its internals — you just see which repositories your organization has and store data in them through allocations.

Allocations

An allocation is the storage space assigned to you or to a project within a repository. An allocation tracks how much space and how many records you can use, and one allocation can be marked as your default — the place new data goes unless you choose otherwise. Allocations can also have a friendly name to tell them apart. When you create a collection, you can pick which allocation its data uses, or leave it on the owner’s default. Sub-collections and assets inherit that choice.

Where to find it

In Settings, you can review the repositories available to your organization and the allocations assigned to you and your projects, including which allocation is the default.
