1/It’s not possible to do it yourself now, reach out to the support mail for them to help in deleting your files, I think.

2/It seems there are only notifications when your app is approaching storage limits.

3/At the moment seems there’s only this workaround.

Form Ziggeo I push the video to GDrive and using Integromat (Zapier cheaper alternative) I get the video ID and write the Google Sheet with the public URL. With the “Open web view” you can go to an external site without closing the app. I’ve tried the lower cost/budget solution I could think of. Ziggeo is the cheap version of Pipe - [https://ziggeo.com/](https://ziggeo.com/)

Hi @david Is there any news on this?

My App Surf Diary is about to hit the 50GB limit and I can’t afford to upgrade further  
I want to remove the old footage ASAP and soon release a function that it will delete automatically

Just saw this [now](https://community.glideapps.com/t/storage-usage-handling-files-and-images/7123/7)

Just want to confirm, can I just delete the link or do I have to delete the post?

Just delete the link to the file. As long as it’s no longer referenced in any of your Apps, it will be removed within 30 days.
