Google Drive vs Saving Media in the DB as BLOB

[campopianoa]

Based on the size of your files, you will likely need Google Drive to store your media. Please see below:

OneDrive integration

Hi Peter, Currently the limits on Media objects stored in Data Tables are as follows: Free plan: 10 MB Individual plan: 1 GB Business plan: 10 GB We are also happy to arrange custom packages for users who require more storage - please get in touch with sales@anvil.works if you’d like to discuss options. I hope that helps.

Size limitations aside, I default to using Anvil Data tables since I get all of the DB functionality along with some (limited) storage of media.

If necessary, you could combine the two approaches by storing files in Google drive and maintaining their relationship to other data by storing their corresponding file IDs in Anvil DataTables.
