Is there a way to browse, list or view the uploads stored on a Rocket Chat server?
I’m wondering about managing storage if we have lots of large files. Can they be purged? Can I see what is taking up the most space?
Hi! it will depend on how you have choose to store those files in ADMIN > File Upload.
If you choose GRIDFS, they get store inside mongo itself, so you can use a GridFS browser to do the maintenance you want.
Also consider configure a Retention Policy if you want to limit old file uploads/messages.
Thank you. We’re using GridFS, so I’ll look into a browser.
Retention policy is a good idea. I’ll consider that. If we don’t want to lose anything, maybe it would be an idea to consider some kind of object storage.
