Hi, I was thinking about whether it is possible to make something similar to TikTok with glide. Essentially an app that displays video by categories. I am new to glide so wanted to know whether it is possible before putting in the work. Also, all content will be posted by us, so there won’t be any user-generated content. Regards, ---

Sure can! Just know that free apps have storage limitations (and videos eat up a lot of storage). A Pro/Org app would work well! ---

100mb, right? So does that mean I can only upload videos totalling roughly 100mb (After storage for other stuff)? ---

Correct. 100mb TOTAL. ---

I think each individual upload, using the file picker, is limited to 10mb, but you are “unlimited” if you host your video on another site, like YouTube, and use the URL in the video component. ---

Does that also apply if you host your video on GDrive? ---

Continuing the discussion from [TikTok with Glide?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/tiktok-with-glide/5899/5): Good point, @Jeff_Hager. I often use this trick: ![ScreenFlow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/6/68ab8ec769a5eefb38a0b344b7f300c2317ab0db.gif) ---

Yes, you would be using your own google storage, so you are only limited by how much drive storage you have. Be advised that @david does seem to be loosely discouraging hosting streaming media in your Google drive since Drive is intended for storage and not to host media for web access. > [@Full system crash when embedding YouTube videos](https://community.glideapps.com/t/full-system-crash-when-embedding-youtube-videos/5699/2): > > Google Drive is really not meant for streaming embedded videos. Frankly I am surprised that worked with our Video component! Especially a Live Stream — I have no idea how that even works. > [@Downloading to hosting of images](https://community.glideapps.com/t/downloading-to-hosting-of-images/5171/9): > > Yep, you can do the same with a gif. We don’t own your images when you host them through us. Just be careful with Google Drive/Dropbox hosting — these services are not intended to be used in this way. You can create your own Firebase project and host your own images there if you’d like (for free). ---

What does it look like when you click on a video?
