# Store Minidumps As Attachments | Sentry for Native

[Minidumps](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/native/guides/minidumps.md#what-is-a-minidump) may contain sensitive information about the target system, such as environment variables, local pathnames, or in-memory representations of input fields, including passwords. By default, Sentry only uses minidump files to create events and immediately drops them. All sensitive information is stripped from the resulting events.

All attachments types, including log files, screenshots and minidumps (if you enable Store Minidumps As Attachments), are stored for 30 days when sent to Sentry. Note that Sentry does not apply data scrubbing to attachments.

### [Enabling Minidump Storage](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/native/data-management/store-minidumps-as-attachments.md#enabling-minidump-storage)

You can enable *Store Minidumps As Attachments* in your organization or project settings under **Security & Privacy**. By default, this setting is disabled. Determine the maximum number of crash reports that will be stored per issue; disabled, unlimited, or maximum per issue:

If you set a limit per issue, as in the example above, a limit of 5, Sentry will store the first 5 attachments associated with this issue, but drop any that follow. To make room for additional attachments, delete them. Sentry will then accept attachments until the limit is reached again.
