I’m wondering in any bubblers have gotten more then the max 3tb file storage with bubble built in storage. I think the enterprise plan might allow it but i’m wondering if anyone has done it.
I’ve done some projections and im concerned ill need upwards of 10 TB.
I don’t want amazon S3 as i want everything in 1 place. i’ve managed to keep everything in bubble so far without relying on anything and i’d prefer to keep it that way.
That 3TB storage limit becomes a push to Enterprise Bubble tier.
With those storage requirements you should dig deeper into file storage, Bubble vs external. Costs, backup, retention management.
anything over 50gbs you should think about s3
it’s much easier to move there earlier than later…
(would have to bulk migrate all the files and update the database records and logic = high wu and time)
Thanks for the response!
I spent the day setting up s3 just to find out you can’t upload a payload more than 10mbs via the api gateway to s3. Myself and my users will need to upload dozens of photos with a multi uploader which will often be over 10mb per upload / payload.
Can you point me to tutorials or docs on how to set it up with a different approach so i don’t get bottle necked. I’m comfortable with some custom html, js, toolbox plugin, api connector.
Let me know. thanks
check out filestack
I looked into Filestack, but I couldn’t find clear overage pricing—just the monthly plans with 250GB included. It’s unclear what happens when you exceed that limit.
From my research and testing, Uploadcare seems to have the most user-friendly API and documentation (similar to Stripe), but their pricing is extremely high at the lower tiers. For example, the $199/month plan works out to $450 per TB, which is far too expensive. While their enterprise pricing advertises rates “as low as” $40 per TB, this comes with a likely steep monthly base fee.
My main concern is planning for scalability with Bubble. The 3TB limit is ambiguous—there’s no clarity on whether it’s a hard cap, a soft cap, or if exceeding it causes throttling. Meanwhile, alternative third-party storage solutions are either prohibitively expensive or equally unclear about their limits.
I picked Wasabi and I used this plugin Wasabi Storage Dropzone & Utilities Plugin | Bubble it is limited to 5GB files max (basically all S3 platform has this limitation for non chunked uploads like this plugin does)
The plugin dev @redvivi is great and also makes plugins for other storage providers such as AWS S3 AWS S3 Dropzone & SQS Utilities Plugin | Bubble
If Wasabi’s pricing model works for you then 3TB is $21/month
filestack allow you to integrate the storage with several other services like s3
filestack basically just want to handle the uploader, cdn and image manipulation process
I was using wasabi previously but couldn’t find a good solution for large file uploads. filestack is built specifically to handle large file uploads which is why I changed to it.
wasabi is viable and a good option if you just need to handle simple file storage needs
If that’s a requirement, I have an unpublished plugin for complex use cases handling uploads up to 5TB.
