The old Bubble pricing model priced 1 extra GB of storage at $0.03; but now one extra GB costs $1. This makes what I’m trying to do much more expensive and likely would leave my app operating in the red. Are there any plans on lowering the cost of extra GBs? Additionally, on the dedicated hosting accounts, are storage costs that high?
Thanks
We built a proof of concept last year that bypassed Bubble’s storage and went to our own Amazon S3 bucket. We did this using custom HTML and the instructions Amazon has for building a fileuploader. It wasn’t styled as nicely as Bubble’s stuff, but it did work well. It might be a cheaper route.
Thank you, that is a pretty good idea. I’ll look into that
If you want to keep the elegance of the up loader element you can choose to use Box. Search the forum and you’ll find a detailed expose and step-by-step instructions from Jarrad. Alternatively I use bubble for the elegance and once uploaded I then use a backend API to transfer from bubble storage to my own or you could probably use anything. Then delete the uploaded file from bubble
We were hoping to try something like that with our app, but Bubble has the 50mb file size limit we needed to get around. If that’s not an issue, I think your solution sounds pretty spiffy.
@potentialthings ahhh yes I should have mentioned that this would only work if your file was below 50 MB luckily mine is but it’s good to know there is an option of using Amazon with a custom HTML element
