11/13/2019, 9:37 AMI was wondering if anyone had any insight for SCA and best practices regarding product images, we currently have 1.5M SKUs we are living on a SCA site. Our current ecom system only stores URLs and from my understanding under SCA the practice is to place images into NS File Storage. This presents a challenge in regards to using file import to get the data into NS.. Thoughts?

Storage in NS is not cheap and they are starting to enforce charges on it.

11/13/2019, 1:19 PMNS comes with 10GB of file cabinet storage by default and you are planning to store +200 GB (thinking 1 image per sku at 200KB which is a very optimistic calculation, normally people have more than 1 pic and images are around 500KB)

11/13/2019, 6:42 PM@PabloZ yeah I was planning on coding the WS to upload it but I am thinking that the best path forward is to use a external host
