Collect videos and images from user - Best practice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 421

Hi everyone.  We are starting an app where we are asking users to upload videos and images via powerapps.  We currently use Dataverse but I have read that storing large files isnt ideal using DV.  What would be the best practice for capturing these?  Sharepoint library?  One Drive?  Is it possible to use the users one drive to store the files and not my onedrive?


Thanks!

 

Chris

    Hi @ckserra33, If the videos and images are meant for collaboration (other users also require access) then in that case SharePoint document library, however if the videos and images are meant for user specific (not for collaboration) then it can uploaded to OneDrive for Business. And both of these does not require any premium connectors.

     

    On other hand, DV require premium license.
