How to limit which files people can upload to your album

You asked for photos and got a 4 GB screen recording. Here’s how to set the rules before people upload.

Eric Rada · Founder · · 3 min read
In short
  • Choose the allowed file types.
  • Set a maximum file size.
  • Everything else is refused.
STEP 1

Pick the file types

In the Room’s Settings, open File types and choose what’s allowed, for example only .jpg, .heic and .mp4. The default is any type.

STEP 2

Set a maximum file size

Open Max file size and set a limit that fits. Short phone videos need far less than a long recording from a camera.

STEP 3

The rest stays out

A file of another type, or over the size limit, is refused. It never lands in your Room.

Questions

What’s the biggest file a Room accepts?

Up to 50 GB per file, and you can set a lower limit for your Room.

Can I change the rules after people uploaded?

Yes. New rules apply to new uploads. Files already in the Room stay.

Do HEIC photos from iPhones count as photos?

Add .heic to the allowed types if you want iPhone photos in their original format.
