File transmission: file formats | Remove Meta data | use self-hosted media storage
### formats
status is open source, and users should not be allowed to upload non-open file formats.
Document Format: .txt/.md/.epub/.odt/.odp/.ods/.odg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument
Image Format: .avif/.png/.apng/.gif/
video Format: .mkv/.av1/.webm/.mp4/
audio Format: .flac/.wav/.ogg .opus
### Remove Meta data
- Meta data leaks are a problem ! I think the Status client Remove the image and file metadata before uploading.
- Uploading compressed files is prohibited. The reason is that the metadata within the compressed , files cannot be Remove.
### use self-hosted media storage
I have my own cloud storage, NSA Storage/SAN Storage/MinIO.
- I just need to add WebDav to the "Status Room" I created,
so that all uploaded large files will be stored in WebDav.
This can avoid the increase in Status storage
