Storing Media Files

Forestry provides multiple options for storing images — audio and video files are not supported.

Git

The most basic option for storing media is to commit it to your Git repository like the rest of your content. This is the default setting for new projects.

If your site has a large number of media files, we highly recommend implementing Git LFS on your repository. Forestry will be able to handle Git LFS media for repositories hosted on GitHub.

Cloudinary
