Provide a way to purchase more storage quota

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please indicate somewhere how big tables can be (beside max sizes of imported 
stuff)

Hi there, 

There aren't any explicit limits to the number of rows or the number of columns 
in a table.  There are storage limits - 250 MB per user account, 1 million 
characters per cell.   And upload limits - 1 MB per spreadsheet, 100 MB per 
.csv or KML. 

What other numbers are you looking for? 

Thanks, 

-Rebecca

would the user account be extendable?
I am thinking about an application area where the ultimate joined master
table (joing say 4 other tables: country, school, space, child) could become
big...

say for 32 countries, for 5 schools per country, for 4 spaces per school,
for 30 children per space.....resulting for the total join in about 20000
rows and about 240 total parameters/columns (based on questionnairs, test,
checklists etc.) ie 4.6 M cells

maybe resulting in a masterdb of about 250MB...(?)

(I am comparing currently googleFT to CDC's EPI-Info tool for this job...)

There is not currently any way to extend the quota for a given user account.  
Note that when a table is shared with you, it does not count against your 
quota. 

Please also note that once a merge table is created based on a given column, 
additional tables merged with that one must use the same column as the key.

ok, then thsi is maybe a  valid request! :)
I potentially miss a way to extent my quota!

to others (at least the master/joined one which si the big one)

minus (amount of tables minus one)

ok, that sounds like a valid request :-) 
Changing the title to reflect it.

Is there an e.t.a. for purchasing more storage? I am starting a large project 
and I want to use Fusion Tables for this project but it is going to be a lot 
larger then 250mb.

Original comment by bob.viol...@gmail.com on 23 Feb 2011 at 11:36

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you have a Maps API Premier account, please discuss additional storage with 
your contact there.  I don't have an e.t.a. on consumer access to additional 
storage, but I will update here when we have something new.

On a related note, it would be great if I could pay for additional storage with 
credit from my AppEngine budget.

However, I certainly vote for whatever the quickest way is to get this 
accomplished!

I have been trying to work with table containing 1.5 Million rows and I seem to 
time out every time I try to aggregate or sum the dataset, is there a logical 
limit to the table size I am missing? or away to set the request timeout to 
longer?

I agree

Original comment by traviski...@gmail.com on 20 May 2011 at 7:24

I assume that if one has purchased additional paid storage from google, that 
these size limits and quotas don't apply?  Please confirm.

Original comment by randymaj...@gmail.com on 30 May 2011 at 12:28

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I spent a lot of time trying to debug why my insertions weren't working, and 
stumbled upon the max dataset size as a possible cause. It would be great for 
developers to actually have an indication of these limits and how close we're 
getting so we don't waste our client's time while we scratch our heads 
wondering why our scripts stopped working.

Original comment by nicholas...@gmail.com on 19 Jun 2011 at 8:46

Fusion Tables storage is currently independent of "additional paid storage from 
Google". 

If you need different quotas and/or storage limits, please discuss with your 
Maps API Premier contact.

Hi,
I also have the same issue with Google Fusion Table. I need to add a lot of 
data which might exceed 25MB. Is there a way?

Also, how do I get to know the current size of my table?

Original comment by poojas...@gmail.com on 8 Aug 2011 at 4:51

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Will this restriction be lifted now that fusion tables can be connect to a 
Google Docs account?

Original comment by kylefin...@gmail.com on 15 Sep 2011 at 6:11

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Fusion Tables storage and limits are still separate from the Google Docs 
storage and limits.  
I will definitely update this topic when there's any new development. 

Thanks, 

-Rebecca

I also would like more space in my Fusion Tables.  Both for individual tables, 
and the entire account.

I have butting up against the 400,000 limits in Google Spreadsheets on a few 
projects and I would also like to request this functionality (more cells).

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@timothy.s.lau
But this is not even a Google Spreadsheets issue tracker. Your request is 
totally misplaced. It will most likely not be "heard" by anyone that can do 
something about it. And is just noise for 43 people that starred this issue and 
are interested in updates about Fusion table, not spreadsheets.

Will be great if we can have options to purchase storage size.

Please let us know if there's such options!

Would be nice at least to be able to see to current table size ...

Original comment by sebastia...@googlemail.com on 7 Jun 2012 at 11:18

[GoogleCodeExporter]

So I've been considering using fusion tables for my application.  I'd like to 
make sure that I understand the state of things: 

 - There is a 250mb limit, and other limits (rows/uploads/etc).
 - There is no method to view your current size in relation to your limit. 
 - There is no clear method to pay money to increase your available size (I am not a maps user).
 - This issue has been open for almost 2 years and there is still no resolution. 

Is all of the above accurate?   If not, please let me know?  

If I'm going to consider using fusion for real development, I like to know that 
I'm not going to bump into some magic limit which forces me abandon google 
fusion. 

Thanks,
-3ric Johanson

Hi 3ric, 

Your summary of the current state is correct.

Given this has been an issue the better part of 2 years, it makes one go 
hmmmm...
Question:
Is google planning on addressing this issue with possible ways to get an 
increase or ar they simply going to keep things as-is?

Where are we at with Fusion Tables and size limits? The 250MB limit is not 
working out so well.

Original comment by j...@telco2.co.nz on 31 Jan 2013 at 9:38

Please provide a way to have > 250 MB per account for Fusion Table data. Would 
pay for this.

Rebecca -- Do the merged Fusion Tables count against the Fusion Table quota per 
user, or only the uploaded tables? Thank you,

Simona

Original comment by sbabice...@gmail.com on 3 May 2013 at 3:38

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Merged tables do not count against the storage quota.

Original comment by whs...@google.com on 3 May 2013 at 4:57

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please provide more space, or introduce a paid GFT Pro service for more space 
quota allowance, just like Maps Engine Pro.

Bill

Original comment by ifug...@gmail.com on 11 Nov 2013 at 8:07

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Bill  -- that doesn't seem likely.  Google has made it clear that this is a 
deadend project based on the limitations they've placed on it, with zero 
options for anyone to use this as a real tool.  My crystal ball says Fusion 
Tables will get mothballed in the next bit, as 3 years with zero progress on a 
critical design defect clearly shows the  inertia.  

Original comment by ericjoha...@gmail.com on 11 Nov 2013 at 8:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There are no plans to shut down Fusion Tables. Can you expand on the critical 
design defect you mention? Are you talking about the inability to purchase more 
quota?

Original comment by rmcch...@google.com on 11 Nov 2013 at 8:19

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes.  Once you hit 250MB the product becomes a cloud-based paperweight.  

Original comment by ericjoha...@gmail.com on 11 Nov 2013 at 8:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We're reasonably happy about Fusion Tables which we've implemented in Harmony 
our cloud application development platform. However 
(1) we have a project coming up soon requiring 10's of millions of rows of data 
to be stored (it's a Fraud detection application)
(2) We have a triple store implementation in Fusion Tables ... some applies to 
the above .. for a large multinational we'd store 10,000's of employees with 
all characteristics in Fusion table ...
So in both cases we require (much) more storage than the 250MB

Have you looked at https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/what-is-bigquery ? 

frankly it sounds more suitable for 'Big Data' 

Original comment by BarryBHu...@gmail.com on 20 Jun 2015 at 11:06

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you are basing a commercial product on Fusion Tables, be aware that it's an 
experimental product with no SLA or paid support, so that might not be the best 
plan.

We increased the quota per account to 1GB a while back, but it's not likely 
that we will support single tables larger than 250MB. So I agree with 
BarryBHunter: the Google Cloud Platform is almost certainly a better choice for 
your needs.
