1. Since Glide optimizes images when they are uploaded to their network, how many images can fit within Glide’s 5GB storage limit?

We don’t optimize images when you upload them; we optimize them when apps display them.

Thanks for clarifying! Can I reasonably assume that since Glide doesn’t optimize images, 5GB could store between 6,000 and 16,000 images depending on the user’s picture settings?
