We need a cloud storage option that is economically feasible.

The obvious option is Google Firebase Storage, however, the pricing is sub-optimal, especially in the very long term. pricing

The next solution would be aws s3, which is much cheaper. Aws would bring on extra complexity by connecting another backend to the project. pricing

A third solution is having the user host their own images with a service like Imgur, at 0 costs to us. This would require the user to have a certain degree of technical knowledge, damaging the user experience for those without it.

Discussion was had in a discord thread ->
