  The Premium plan would satisfy all of my site requirements, it is a quite a bit short on storage. Without upgrading to business, is there a way to increase storage from the 13 GB to, let’s say 50 GB?
  Thanks.

  Hi there, at the moment there is not other than upgrading to a higher plan.

  Can you say why you’d need more than 13GB? If you are optimizing your images before uploading them to your site, that storage will last you a very long time. https://wordpress.com/support/media/image-optimization/ Optimizing your images also decreases storage use and loading time for your site visitors.

  Regardless, I’ve flagged your thread for Staff to note your request.

  Hi @cfmoxey

  As @justjennifer points out, there is not really a way to do that, we do not offer extra storage space as an add-on at this time.

  This may change in the future, but for now to have more storage you would need either a higher plan (Business, eCommerce,or VIP.) You could also consider the option to set up a self-hosted WordPress site, which are sites that you create on a “traditional web host” like Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
