If you want specific files to be kept permanently regardless of your team’s auto-deletion policies, check the Retention Exempt box.
Files marked as Retention Exempt will never be automatically deleted by the system.
5

Start the Upload

Click Upload All to begin the process. You can monitor the progress of each file individually. Once finished, you’ll receive a notification and the files will appear in your storage list.

​
Retention Exemption

By default, Fivemanage may automatically delete older files based on your team’s retention settings to help manage storage and costs.

​
Why use Retention Exemption?

  • Permanent Assets: For logos, UI elements, or critical evidence that must never be deleted.
  • Specific Overrides: Allows you to keep individual files even if your general policy is set to 7 or 30 days.
When a file is marked as exempt, it displays a badge in the dashboard to indicate it will be skipped during automatic cleanup.

​
Retention Policies & Quality

You can manage your global retention policies in the Storage Settings tab.
  • Per-type Retention: Set different expiration periods for images, videos, and audio.
  • Image Quality: Optionally override image quality to optimize for storage space or performance.
