  Hi @austinxing,

  there might be two options:

  1. If you use WordPress.com then the only way to increase the storage is by upgrading to another plan:
     • All WordPress.com blogs come with 3 GB of space for uploaded files and images.
     • WordPress.com Personal includes another 3 GB of extra storage, for a total of 6 GB.
     • WordPress.com Premium includes another 10 GB of extra storage, for a total of 13 GB.

     WordPress.com Business includes unlimited storage space.
     For more details please see https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/ page.

  2. In case you use a self hosted WordPress.org version, then the limit of the storage is up to hosting provider, not WordPress.

  But the question is what for do you need so much space? Showing all these gigabytes online make the website very slow.
  Here are some tricks to minimize the space usage:

  • Image optimization: https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/image-optimization/
  • Embedding media: https://wordpress.com/support/category/media/

  Hope that helps!
