Odoo 14 Enterprise

We are exploring the idea of using Odoo's AI feature to store financial documents associated with our accounting module (see, for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayab6wZ_U1A).  I am concerned, however, with the cost and space of document storage.  This week we emailed copies of receipts for the first quarter and those emails took up more than 100MB of space.  I can see the space requirements growing over time and, with it, the cost of online storage.

I would be interested in hearing from Odoo users who have used online Documents storage whether they found it relatively affordable (for whatever country they are working in).  Did you find that, periodically, you needed to either delete documents to free up space or perhaps store them onto other media (DVDs, etc.)?  Should we consider the storage of financial documents something we do on a short-term basis and then delete them or do we store them over the longer term (for, say, government record keeping compliance)?  

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience relating to Odoo Documents storage.

This sounds fair enough.  Not having actually used this feature, can you tell me how hard it would be to 'clean out' older documents.  If we wanted to, for example, retain financial records for three years and then delete them, would that be hard to do?  Are the files all available in one folder somewhere?

In Odoo Documents, files can be organized in workspaces (ie. folders) and by tags. Whether you decide to use those or not, you can always go to the root and see all files. A trivial filter on the creation date will return all files older than a given date. You can then mass select and mass delete if that's what you want. https://drive.google.com/file/d/12TpY5TxoKN0HajkBkcFW00gEXEAsQgDp/view?usp=sharing You can also start with Odoo Online where the storage is unlimited, and if all you need is Odoo Documents without any other app, then Odoo is free (freemium).

This, then, makes what's being offered much more viable.  Thanks for your response.
