XF 2.2 Web server getting filled by attachments - no way to prune them?

[Stuart Wright]

Is there no way to analyse the use of attachments to remove ones not opened for a long time?
Would an attachment manager be an idea for limiting the otherwise runaway usage of disk space?

I can't help with your problem but a board of your size should be using wasabi, no? (1 TB storage for 6$/month) Maybe that could solve your problem indirectly.

Have you got experience of Wasabi cloud storage?

No, I don't have a board that size. But it is widely used in the industry. I was looking for a s3 storage for my board to offload my attachments and made some research. But perhaps Wasabi might not be the best solution for you because if you wanted to backup your wasabi storage, that could be a problem. On the other hand you are a big board, you could probably get a special deal or sth. I dont know.

It all depends on your setup. Are you running your own dedicated servers? It should be fairly trivial for you to put some harddisks into your system for storage purposes, which would be more cost-effective than even Wasabi?

We are a big board and use vps servers with extra storage (500gb). It's not that expensive anymore and for latency sake I prefer "local" storage.
