# How much storage history does Storage Studio keep?

About a year. Older entries are trimmed automatically so the history doesn't grow forever. The history is kept on your Mac and isn't uploaded.

If you want to keep a longer record, export it to CSV periodically — see [how to export your storage history](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/how-do-i-export-my-storage-history).
