How are media files stored on devices?
To keep bandwidth and storage usage low but provide a fast experience, Anytype downloads Text and Images to your device automatically as they are smaller in size.
Files and Videos are downloaded on-demand. For example, on mobile devices, it's only when you choose to play the video that it will begin to download and save on your device. It also works as a cache. For example, when watching 10% of movies, Anytype may preload and store 30%. So if you are streaming or frequently using a large file, it will be taken from your device storage.
Files are fully downloaded when you press download and get "cached" on your device.
{% hint style="info" %} Working with cache is not yet available and will be implemented in the next release. {% endhint %}
