Files and folders

Files and folders

Step 2 of the editor holds a column view for everything uploaded alongside the blueprint: images used in prose, attachments readers can download, and diagram sources.

Folders

Files have a folder path rather than sitting in actual directories, so reorganising never breaks a reference. Create a folder, drag files into it, rename freely.

Referencing a file

An uploaded image is inserted into rich text as an ordinary markdown image; other files become links. Both keep resolving after a move, a rename, and a publish.

A file's URL is keyed on the file's id, not the blueprint's, because publishing reparents a draft's files onto the published blueprint and deletes the draft row. A blueprint id baked into a link would dangle after one publish. The URL also re-resolves storage on every request, so a reference that outlives a signed URL's expiry still works.

Visibility

Files inherit the blueprint's access, checked on every read against the blueprint that owns the file now, never against one supplied by the caller. A file on a private blueprint is not readable by an anonymous visitor even with a direct URL, and a password gate covers the files too.

Unlisted is not secret. Anyone with the link has the attachments.

Ceilings

One uploaded file20 MB
One diagram document, including its thumbnail5 MB

The 5 MB document cap exists because the request body ceiling above it is 6 MB. A document that passed would fail on the way out.

Quotas

Storage is counted per owner, not per blueprint:

OwnerQuota
Personal, free500 MB
Personal, premium5 GB
Team20 GB
Organisation20 GB
Organisation, enterprise100 GB

The total counts diagram documents and their thumbnails, externalised diagram images, attachments, blueprint asset files and custom icon packs. A draft and its published sibling share the same stored objects, so a published blueprint is not charged twice.

It does not yet count inline markdown, version snapshots, templates, folium assets, podium assets, avatars and covers. The figure therefore runs below actual usage.

A write that reduces your total is never rejected, whatever your quota says, because deleting is how an over-quota account recovers. If you are blocked, delete something and carry on. The limit does not need raising first.

Both figures are shown on billing and usage.
