Storing assets

This article is meant to help you better understand storing assets in PaaS.

DX Cloud leverages the Digital Asset Management (DAM) module for managing assets such as images, videos, and documents. In some cases, you may have quite a lot of assets to manage.

By default, thumbnails are disabled to ensure optimal performance in DX Cloud. Projects with a large volume of assets per folder can cause serious performance issues when thumbnails are enabled. If you wish to turn thumbnails back on, you can do so by setting thumbnails: true in the dam.subApps.yaml file.

We only recommend doing this if you have structured your assets in an optimal way to minimize any performance degradation.
