Storage Context

In Aladia, different types of files can be uploaded depending on their intended use. Each storage context defines a specific type of upload, such as images for profile pictures, videos for posts, or documents for attachments. To ensure security, consistency, and proper file handling, only specific file formats (MIME types) are allowed for each storage context.

The table below lists all storage contexts, the types of files they accept, and the corresponding MIME types.
