# How far back does Storage Studio's storage history go?

Storage Studio records your drives' usage once a day and keeps about **a year** of these daily records, which is what the storage charts draw from. Older days are dropped automatically so the history stays small.

The record contains space figures, not your files. If charts look out of date, check the **Daily storage snapshots** row in **Settings → Services**.
