Quickblox CONTENT versus CUSTOM OBJECTS files

With QB release 1.8 it is now possible to upload files to classes in Custom Objects module.

  • Is there any performance differences between Custom Objects and Content? Can I just use Custom Objects to upload all files in my app?

In Custom Objects module I can have meta information associated with each uploaded file like visibility (public/private), status (approved, rejected), etc, which I can't in Content module.

Solution

  • Here are features of each storage:

    Content

    • no file size limit, up to 5TB
    • allows to use file public url

    Custom Objects

    • max 32Mb file size
    • no public urls to files
    • great CustomObjects API like filters, permissions etc
