The videos themselves are not stored in the app, but rather links to them. So it shouldn’t matter if you’ve used 1% or your quota or 100% of your quota, the user experience should be the same. Each individual video is only loaded and played when the user views it. As Darren said here, it shouldn’t matter if you have used 1MB or 9GB, when it comes to the loading experience of a specific video. What I would do here is try to run the uploaded videos through a compression service and then store them somewhere. You can control the limit that way, and have compressed videos to show to the user. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/images-and-files-storage/38161)._
