Questions to settle

1. Which plan includes the tools and usage volume your team needs?
2. Are the workspace data controls suitable for the material you will upload?

Limits to check

• File uploads accept common document, spreadsheet, presentation, and text formats. Each file is capped at 512 MB; text and document files also have a 2 million-token cap, spreadsheets about 50 MB, and images 20 MB.
• File upload rates and project allowances vary by plan, and OpenAI says it may lower rate limits during peak hours.
• OpenAI's current pages conflict on Free and Go file-upload access. Its file-upload FAQ says uploads are available to Plus, Pro, and Enterprise, yet the same FAQ caps Free at 3 uploads per day; the pricing page lists limited Free uploads and more uploads for Go. Confirm upload access in the account before relying on Free or Go.
• When Library is available, ChatGPT saves conversation uploads there separately from chats. Deleting a chat does not delete its Library files; delete those files from Library too.
• Only ChatGPT Enterprise supports visual retrieval within PDFs. On other plans, and for other document file types, uploads use text-only retrieval and discard embedded images.
• For individual ChatGPT services, OpenAI may use chats and uploaded content to train models unless you opt out. ChatGPT Business and Enterprise inputs and outputs are not used for training by default.
• Deep Research can use enabled ChatGPT apps, including Gmail and Google Drive. Deep Research availability depends on the plan and country or territory; access to specific apps also depends on the plan and workspace configuration. OpenAI says data synced directly from connected Google apps is not used to train generalized models except when it is submitted as feedback, manually copied or uploaded into a conversation, or included in a ChatGPT response.
• ChatGPT Search may rewrite a prompt into targeted queries sent to third-party search providers. When Memory is enabled, relevant memories may inform those queries, and general location inferred from your IP address may be shared. OpenAI says it does not share the IP address itself or ChatGPT account information with those search providers.
• Paid prices and included features vary by plan.
• The GitHub app is read-only; editing and pushing repository code requires the separate Codex product.
