Hi everyone šŸ‘‹

I’m using Appwrite on the Free Plan. When I try to display images using getFilePreview() from the Storage API, I get this error:

"message": "Image transformations are blocked on your current plan.", "code": 403, "type": "storage_image_transformations_blocked", "version": "1.7.4" It seems like both preview and view are considered ā€œimage transformations.ā€

Is there any way to directly embed uploaded images (e.g., in an <img> tag) on the Free Plan without hitting this limitation?

TL;DR
Issue: Cannot display images using getFilePreview() due to image transformations being blocked on the Free Plan. Solution: Unfortunately, direct embedding of uploaded images using an <img> tag is considered an image transformation, which is blocked on the Free Plan. Upgrading the Appwrite plan may be necessary to access this feature.
