Migrating off of large-media

Hi, @agreene. Git LFS is an add-on for Git that handles the storage and checkout of certain (typically, very large) files differently.

Large Media is a Git LFS service that also offers image transformations (although, I’d recommend using Netlify Image CDN for that instead these days).

My point is, if you have been committing those files to Large Media, they may only exist in that Large Media instance and if we delete them you will have no way to recover them.

So, there are two possible ways forward.

Either:

  • we can delete the Large Media instance for this site and you can try to recover them without Large Media

Or:

  • we can try to get Large Media access working on your local system

If you want to remove Large Media, would you please read this and let us know when you are ready to proceed?

If you would prefer to troubleshoot the local system’s access to Large Media, would you please try the steps here and let us know the results?

We’ll proceed however you prefer so please just let us know what that preference is.
