Doubts Regarding External Storage Adoptors

So, as currently we have Backblaze & Wasabi adoptors.

Question regarding upload: From client sdk we upload the file to the appwrite storage and then appwrite will upload it to external storage? Which mean extra bandwidth I guess ?

Question regarding download or viewing: Similar to uploaded when viewing the files or downloading the file same client sdk methods should be used? Or do we need to directly ping the external storage and reterive the file?

Because if we use the sdk does it mean that appwrite first reterive the files from external storage and then send it to the client side or how does it work?

TL;DR

The user is asking about doubts regarding external storage adopters in the Appwrite platform. They are considering using external storage due to the storage and bandwidth limits in the pro plan. They mention the 5GB file limit and 300GB bandwidth limit. The user is unsure if these limits are per month or annually. They also mention the 2GB file limit in the free plan and inquire if custom storage limits are available in paid plans. The user wonders if it would be ideal to store files in Appwrite itself due to the low storage limit. They also ask about the process of uploading and downloading files from external storage and whether it requires

Data will always go through Appwrite. Appwrite may cache some of the data to save trips to the storage provider though

mm, thank you... I was wondering in that cases would be ideal to store at appwrite itself may be in future Storage Limit will be increased as 2GB is nothing for any Social Media apps 😄

What do you mean?

I mean currenlty 2GB limit is there ( we can increase that though) but I guess on paid plans, I hope there would option for custom storage limit too

You would have to upgrade to the paid plan

And it's 5GB file size limit for pro plan

yaa that I guess need to decide between trade-offs... because if bandwidth is 300GB which is alot... in that case I guess ideal to have external storage... as 5GB is not much...

btw does these 5GB storage limit and 300 GB bandwith applies per month ? If so that mean 60BG annually and 1.2TB of Bandwidth Annually 🤔

5gb is per file size max

Bandwidth is per month

oh wait I thought 5gb total stoage file limit of bucket... what about storage limit then?

On pro plan, it's 150GB storage included total $3 per 100GB after that
