What happens to our project once Unity Teams Basic ends?

I've heard about the fact that Unity Teams is ending for free users on 9. Jan 2018, and currently I'm working on a project that'll take about a week longer than that deadline to finish. Once the trial runs out, will none of us have access to Collaborate & Cloud Build? Will the build still be available for work on the disk, individually? Finally, will there be a different free version of Unity Teams in the future, or will it just become a permanently premium service?

 

What happens to project bigger than 1gb

 

Hi @laurentlavigne! If your project is already bigger than 1GB by Jan9 then the only thing that will stop working is the ability to push new changes. You'll still be able to download it from the Cloud, push changes if you're only deleting assets and work in your project.

If your project is smaller than that but then you're going to make a publish that will put you over your limit, then your publish will fail with a warning about needing to increase your cloud storage. Be sure to update to the latest versions of 2017.1 and 2017.2. Otherwise, you may only get the warning about hitting your cloud storage after Collab has already tried to publish your changes instead of before.

Rest assured that none of your work will be deleted. Once you increase your cloud storage then you'll be able to continue pushing changes as normal. Let us know if you have anymore questions.

 

Where in the unity editor do we get the project size?

 

It's not visible in the Unity Editor. From the Services Window, click on Go to Dashboard at the top right of the window. From the Developer Dashboard view of your project, on the left side of the window click on Settings, than Usage. That will show you the amount of data your project is using, the total cloud usage your Org is using, how much you have available, and which projects are using the most space.

 

We need project size from within unity. Tuck it inside the collab window.

 

Thank you for the feature request! Because Collab used to share cloud storage with Cloud Build we felt that it made sense to give the option to view overall storage in a location that's separate from any one service. Hence why we placed it on the Developer Dashboard where it can be viewed regardless of which service you're using. In the future, other services may have their cloud usage reported in the same area.

 

hang on, are you saying that the project size is the total of all the commits?

 

No, no sorry for the confusion. It's based on the size of the HEAD of your repo, so your total project's size.

 

Does a purchase of Unity Plus increase the 1gb collaboration project limit? Does it increase the maximum people allow on a collab project any higher than 3?

 

It makes sense that automated builds shouldn't be available for basic users.
But could we still manually hit the "Build" button on cloud build without the advanced subscription?

 

Yes @shame, you'll still be able to manually trigger cloud builds.

 

Hey @shame, I'm really sorry but I'm afraid I gave wrong information earlier. You will not be able to trigger cloud builds manually unless you purchase a Unity Teams Advanced subscription.

However, you will be able to upload locally built projects onto Cloud Build for other users to access for testing with just Unity Teams Free. I'm sorry again for the confusion.

 

Well, sorry to hear that. Thanks for clarifying.
I don't think this is a great marketing decision because Cloud Build is not stable enough yet. Sometimes you get an unlucky streak, so 2 out of 3 builds are failing for random unrelated reasons in medium or big sized projects.
It makes contractors/employees look bad from project manager's point of view. They get "BUILD FAILED" screaming emails and those are permanently reflected in "build health" stats circle.

I think Cloud Build needs more testing before pulling the rug.
Here's a link with people really upset about it: Reddit Link

 

Great, thank you. How about Unity Pro? How much collab space and project seats do you get with it?

 

Hi @AsaBattle! For a limited time, a Unity Teams Advanced subscription is included for free with the purchase (or previous ownership) of a Unity Plus or Pro license. You can check out more info here.

 

@ryanc-unity Me and my buddy are wondering if both of us have to pay for Advanced. We do not have Unity Plus or Pro.

 

We have a couple of additional questions, and seemed like this was the best place to ask.

1. If we upgrade and pay for the the Teams Advanced subscription, can we expect new fixes and features to be back-ported to older version of Unity? My guess is no, but I'm sure we are in the same boat as many other devs who have had to lock off their Unity version to ship a project.

2. There is an option in the dashboard to buy an extra 25gb storage for $5 per month. Does this mean we could remain on the Basic tier and just get the extra storage? Is there any other difference apart from Automatic Builds? (we are a way off from using that functionality).

Thanks!

 

Gotcha, where is this number located? I have looked in the web dashboard and don't see it, which means it needs to be moved to the top of the page right of the project title.

 

That's 4 clicks too many, on purpose?

 

@johng_unity Any response to my questions above? Thanks

 

Thanks for the response @johng_unity

That helps us make our decision.

 

Any chance that this opacity problem is fixed before the 9th?

 

@johng_unity Does only the person who created the project need to upgrade to 25gb storage?

 

Hi I purchased Unity Teams Advanced (I am working with a team of 4) but since it automatically makes me to the free trial before renewing the subscription, only three of my members have access! I don't mind paying the 7 dollars extra now, but how do I do it? It doesn't seem logical to wait a month after purchasing to increase my team size...
Thanks so much in advance for the info!
