Hi there, I am running some notebooks as usual and I am a getting this kind of error: ` **Notebook Output File** : Notebook Directory /aaa/bbbb/stats/june_2023/ file stats.xlsx failed to create or update: File limit exceeded` The file is just a few Kb and the notebooks works perfectly fine locally. This is just happening today. Cheers. ---

Hi @Paolo_Proxy ! This error message indicates that you’ve reached the file limit for your organization. You can view your [organization limits](https://docs.losant.com/organizations/resource-limits/#viewing-current-usage) and usage by going to your organization’s overview page, clicking on Usage, and then clicking on the Resources tab: ![organization resources](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/8/8df2cf2b210702cfddb844fcf8a53f688a67cba9.png) If you have multiple applications in your organization, you can view the resource usage per application on this page as well. For your account, I’ve increased your file limit by 50%. However, increasing this in the future may not be possible without incurring additional cost. Depending on your use case, you might find it helpful to store some of these files at a third-party, such as [AWS S3](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/aws-s3-put/), [Google Cloud](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/google-cloud-storage-put/), or an [FTP server](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/ftp-put/), all of which are supported natively in our workflow engine. ---

Hi, so your suggestion is it with my notebooks I will not produce any file outputs but write them directly into my S3 storage for example? I guess I can pass as input the AWS credentials in that case. Does the base notebook image contains the boto aws packages for python? Cheers! ---

Not quite; the Losant notebook environment has no access to the outer internet, so writing from the notebook itself to S3 wouldn’t work. Instead, you could do one of two things … 1. Change your notebook outputs to “Temporary File URL” type. Then, using a [Notebook Trigger](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/triggers/notebook/), you could post the contents of those outputs directly to S3, an FTP server, etc., using each node’s option to put the contents from a URL. Or … 2. Simply remove unused files from your [Application Files](https://docs.losant.com/applications/files/) to free up spots for the new ones you are creating. I think what @Sebastian_Turner was getting at was, instead of deleting older files, you could move them from Losant to your own third-party storage service so that you could retrieve them in the future if necessary - assuming those files are not being utilized on a regular basis now.
