Storage is full

When your account is full, nothing is lost. New changes stay on this device and stop syncing until you free space or move to a plan with more. Empty the trash or delete documents you no longer need, then keep working and sync resumes on the next save.

Needs an arbastro account

There are two kinds of "full": your arbastro account's cloud storage, and the storage on this device. Athanor tells you which.

Your account is full

You see one of these:

  • On a document's tab: "Saved on this device only: your account is full. Open storage settings."
  • In Settings › Storage, under Sync to your account: "Your account is full. New changes stay on this device."
  • When something else has to write to the account: "Your cloud storage is full. Free some space or change your plan, then try again."

What still works. Everything you draw and edit is still saved on this device as you work. Drawing, exporting and downloading files are not affected. What stops is the copy to your account, so changes made now do not reach your other devices yet.

What counts. Every document in your account, every saved version of those documents, and documents in the trash until they are deleted for good.

Plan Cloud storage
Free 10 MB
Suite Lite 100 MB
Suite Plus 500 MB
Suite Ultra 3 GB

Settings › Storage shows how much you use, as "{used} of {limit} used".

Free some space

  1. Open Home and find documents you no longer need. Open the ⋯ (More) menu on each and choose Move to trash….
  2. Choose Trash in Home's sidebar. A document in the trash still counts. Press Delete forever on the ones you are sure of. Documents left in the trash are deleted after 30 days anyway.
  3. Want a copy first? Settings › Storage › Export everything saves a ZIP with one .athanor file per document, the trash included, before you delete anything.
  4. Keep working. Sync does not retry on a timer when the account is full; it tries again on your next save, so the next change you make goes up along with the ones that waited.

Warning

Delete forever cannot be undone. Export first if you are not sure.

Or get more space

Move to a plan with more storage. See Plans.

This device is full

The message is: "This device is out of storage space. Free some space and try again."

This is the computer or the browser running out of room, not your account. Free space on the disk, or in the browser close other sites' data you do not need. Your account copy is unaffected.

A saved Python script that cannot be kept says: "The script could not be saved: this browser's storage is full or blocked." Private or guest browser windows often block storage, so open Athanor in a normal window.

Two devices changed the same document

Not a storage problem, but it can look like one after a long stretch offline. Athanor keeps both: ""{name}" was also changed on another device. Both are kept: this one is "{name} (conflicted copy)" in your account." Open both from Home, keep the one you want, and move the other to the trash.
