With your ONIXEDIT Cloud subscription, you get 1MB of free media space for each title in your subscription plan. This is enough to keep your cover images and other media files such as contributor pictures, illustrations and others. 


It is important to know that a media file will use storage resource only when you upload a file from your computer. If you are simply referring to an existing URL, it won't consume any storage resources.


Consequently, when you add a media file and you select to upload it from a file located on your computer, you will consume the equivalent of the file size on your ONIXEDIT Cloud Media Space. But if you simply refer to a media file already available on the Internet (a cover image on your website for instance), it won't change your media space usage:




Another thing you should know is that we keep the files you upload on your Media Space in a persistent manner even if the title it belongs to is deleted from your ONIXEDIT Cloud catalogue. The reason why we keep your media files is simply because we have no way to control if a title was previously shared with a partner that need to refer to one of those media files (such as its cover image). Also, a title may be a copy of another one with links to the media files of the original version. When a duplicate is created, we refer to the same media files as of the original version to limit your media space consumption. 


In other words, once a file is uploaded to your ONIXEDIT Media Space, it is there forever as long as you stay with us.
