An Asset workspace in Nodespell is a separate Asset library with its own folders, tags, saved views, Trash and storage. Your Personal workspace is private to you. Each Team you belong to has one shared Team workspace for its members. Every Asset belongs to exactly one workspace, and its file counts toward that workspace’s storage allowance.
Personal vs Team Assets
Section titled “Personal vs Team Assets”| Personal | Team | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sees the Assets | Only you | Members of that Team |
| Folders, tags, Trash | Your own | Shared by the Team |
| Saved views | Private | Private by default; can be shared with the Team |
| Who can replace, trash or restore an Asset | You | The uploader or the Team owner |
| Storage | Counts toward your storage | Counts toward the Team’s storage |
The Asset details show Owner, Uploaded by and Storage charged to, so you can see which workspace pays for each file.
Switch Asset workspace
Section titled “Switch Asset workspace”Use the workspace selector at the top of the Asset Manager sidebar. It lists Personal and, under Teams, each Team you can access. When you open the Asset Manager from a Project, it selects that Project’s workspace when it can.
If you lose access to a Team while the panel is open, the Asset Manager returns to Personal and says Team access changed. Asset Manager returned to Personal.
Where do uploads and generated results go?
Section titled “Where do uploads and generated results go?”- Uploads go to the workspace and folder shown in the upload dialog. The dialog shows the workspace and Storage charged to before you upload.
- Generated results go to the workspace of the Project that made them. A Team Project’s results are Team Assets.
Copy Assets between Personal and a Team
Section titled “Copy Assets between Personal and a Team”Move to folder… only reorganizes Assets inside one workspace and never changes ownership. To put an Asset in another workspace, copy it.
- Select the Assets in the Asset Manager.
- Select Copy to Team (from Personal) or Save personal copy (from a Team) in the toolbar.
- Choose the Destination and select Preview copy. The preview counts Ready, Duplicates, Cannot copy and Storage required.
- Select Copy Assets. The summary reports how many were created, reused and failed.
Copies are new, separate Assets. Projects that already use the source Assets keep pointing to the originals. Files that already exist in the destination are reused rather than copied again. A copy needs free storage in the destination; otherwise you see The destination does not have enough storage for this copy.
How much storage do I have?
Section titled “How much storage do I have?”Each plan includes a storage allowance for its workspace:
| Plan | Storage |
|---|---|
| Starter | 10 GB |
| Pro | 25 GB |
| Pro Plus | 25 GB |
| Studio (Team) | 50 GB |
Your account can differ from this table, for example after a plan change or a custom arrangement. To see your actual usage and limit, open Account Settings → Subscription → Plan usage. The Storage row shows what you use and your allowance, with a status of Healthy, Approaching limit or Limit reached. For plan details, see Plans and credits.
What counts toward storage?
Section titled “What counts toward storage?”- Every uploaded and generated Asset in the workspace, at its stored file size.
- Assets in Trash, until they are permanently removed after the 30-day recovery period.
- Re-uploading a file that already exists in the workspace does not add storage; the upload is Reused.
What does “Storage limit reached” mean?
Section titled “What does “Storage limit reached” mean?”The workspace does not have enough free space for the files you are adding. Nodespell checks before an upload, a copy, or a generation that saves new files.
| Where you see it | Message |
|---|---|
| Upload dialog, before uploading | Selected files may exceed available storage (… left). Existing duplicate assets may still be reused. |
| Upload refused | Storage limit reached. Delete assets or contact Nodespell to add more storage. |
| Run blocked | Storage limit reached: Your workspace does not have enough storage for this action. with You’re using … of … |
Existing Assets and Projects stay available. Only new files are blocked until you have room.
Free up storage
Section titled “Free up storage”- Find large files: sort by File Type or filter by type, and check File Size in the Inspector.
- Move Assets you do not need to Trash. Space is released when they are permanently removed after their Recoverable until date, not at the moment you trash them.
- If you need space sooner or permanently, change plan, or contact Nodespell from the upload dialog’s storage notice to add storage.
