Tips: Uploading Files Bigger than 2GB

The focus of this conversation is on managing large file transfers, particularly wav and zip files exceeding 2GB.

Key points covered include:

  1. The limitations and costs associated with storing large files directly in Xano.

  2. Recommendations to use external services like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Uploadcare for handling large file storage.

  3. Explanation of how Uploadcare provides frontend components to handle direct uploads from the client, bypassing Xano, and sending notifications to Xano via webhooks.

  4. Guidance on orchestrating file transfers using API keys, Xano as a conductor, and handling notifications for successful uploads.

  5. Ensuring that Xano's integration is efficient by only handling structured data and orchestrating rather than processing large files directly.

We also discussed finding relevant documentation and video resources for integrating external file storage services and managing webhooks to notify Xano of successful uploads.
