I want my ES users to upload to me thur private message Photos and maybe audio files. I made upload limit to 100MB but my questions are...what is the safe limit to upload size? Can I make a setting where only me, the super user can recieve such large files? Also do these files stay on my server and take up space...I just want to download the files and edit them and thats it, the files dont need to stay on the server or anything, so what is the best way to keep server space free..How?
Hello Jamar,

100MB seems too much in my opinion. My advise on the upload files, you might want to use Amazon S3 feature http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-05-20_1100.png . This will upload all your files to your Amazon account and keep your server space free. And I'm sorry but what did you mean by Superuser can receive such large file?

how would this actually work. So when someone sends me a large file of high res pictures and I want to download them to my computer to edit them. How does amazon S3 help with this, so how do my ES users send me the pictures? and then how do I keep from them using up my server space. I'm just trying to understand a process I can use, and maybe with S3 just tryna figure out how I can make this work.

Hi Jamar Jp Pugh,

Sorry for late reply to this,

Actually this feature is pretty helpful for you, you just need to configure 2 thing :
#1. Setup cronjob in your server
#2. Setup Amazon S3 bucket for storing all your Easysocial image, file, avatar .

And you actually no need do double job

Example : My Easysocial got 3 member now, e.g UserA, UserB and UserC.
userA - upload 100 image image file in my Easysocial site.
userB - upload 100 avatar image file in my Easysocial site.
userB - upload 100 file in my Easysocial site.

Then the cronjob will automatically help you fetch all your image, avatar, or file in your AmazonS2 remote storage area.

In other word, it will save your server space and when the browser load that time, the image file is actually load from your Amazon S3 server.

Perhaps you can try using this feature.
