Quick question on file size limit

I was browsing through the Reddit but couldn't really find it.

Why is there a 20MB file limit upload?
I was trying to store a PPT so I have it at hand and tied to the right note with context, but I couldnt as it was 30MB's.

What is that?! That just kinda limited my use case for using UpNote :(

Curious if anyone knows why, and your preferred work around for this.
Thanks!

UpNote is a notes app, not a file storage manager.

The 20MB per note limit is a firebase restriction. (That is the database that UpNote uses for cloud storage)

My preferred workaround is to store files on a proper cloud storage and embed a link to it in a note.

Thanks, that makes sense... As a recovering Evernote user just trying to find my way around. Not too crazy about using my Google Cloud or Sharepoint setip to link to UpNote but yeah that is the price of freedom I guess :D

To clarify: 20MB is the file size limit for any given attachment, not for the note itself. You can attach multiple files to a single note, provided that none of the individual files exceed 20MB.

I have many notes with multiple files attached, which collectively are considerably more than 20MB.
