# OF Arena: is it totally free? What limitations?

Asked by bsenterre on 2023-07-11

Dear Open Foris team,
OF Arena looks like something great to try (I am already a user of OF Collect). I do see that it is free, but I wonder if there are limitations? By registering on Arena, and shifting my OF Collect survey there, and then my data, will I be able to store all my data without limits, on a free server space, including eventually many Mb or Gb of images?
Thanks a lot for your assistance,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,  
sorry for a delay in responding to this important question.  
The OF Arena Team has been decided the following rules effective from the 1st of August 2023 forwards:  

 - the service is free and the maximum size of survey data is 10 GB
 - the survey data size will be shown to Survey Administrator only 
 - the maximum upload size of any file is limited to 1GB 

We are working for adding methods to link Arena's survey with some external file storage systems, so that for example user's photos could be located outside of the Arena server.  
In general, it is better to avoid uploading very-high resolution images into Arena, and to plan in advance the amount of incoming data.  
  
Best regards,  
OF Arena Development Team
