The storage capacity of BLACKbox is fixed depending upon the number of users it is bought for. But, it can be increased in two ways:
- Buying a new data dump device where the data from the hidden chamber will be shifted, thus doubling the capacity of the BLACKbox device in use.
- Upgrading to a new BLACKbox device through the buyback policy.
This can be done. However, it is not advisable since the size of BLACKbox storage might be different from individual desktop storage. Hence, it would not be possible to keep all the data offline. But BLACKbox provides an option to copy selected data from BLACKbox for offline use.

Inside BLACKbox, storage utilization will be based on the access of sharing and personal folders given to users. Storage utilization can be checked from the deduplication report.
