magroupQ: Lots of potential here...
at some point, file storage will become counterproductive, even at 30 gigs. Is there an option to purchase more storage as a upsell for admin?
Could the API be used to create projects, invite clients (collaborators) and provide the basic account funtions of upload/download, revies, tasks etc WITHOUT having an admin administer the account manually? Basically auto create the account, collab access, asset upload and commenting to operate independently from the USER ADMIN?
Lastly, given the storage limitations, is there a way to throttle/set the storage usage by a client to self manage? (example - one gig per account)? Otherwise it could be challenging to police the client usage of storage?
Thank you for any clarification!

May 15, 2024A: At this moment, we don't foresee an option to expend storage space within the tiers. At the same time, if you are a Tier 3, 30GB of storage space might be enough for years. Who knows how our storage policy will change in the future? And, of course, don't forget that you can always delete old projects after exporting them.
Thank you for your question. We have a public API (you can check the documentation here: https://approval.studio/api/), which lets you do almost everything in the system without going to the system itself. There are some gaps, but we are updating our API all the time (last update v.1.22 on NOV 11, 2023 )
Regarding storage limits, within Appsumo Tiers plans you are not able to expand storage limits, to do that you need to have one of the standard Approval Studio plans.
John,
Thank you. I have looked at the API docs however I was hoping to ask the ApprovalStudio experts to confirm my approach.
Sounds like the storage options are very rigid (and I understand the desire to port users to your plan otherwise) however does the approach need to be so binary? Your Sumo purchase rate will be exponentially higher with some flexibility (add on storage costs are very reasonable and could only apply to T3, for example)?
Still looking if you could confirm the last question regarding client storage? Looks like that is super important now..thank you!

Hey magroup, just another curious shopper here with an idea for you. If you are concerned about how much storage a particular client is going to use, why not move complete projects to some form of "cold storage" once the assets have been signed off on and delivered? This is what I do in my current workflow using Picflow. That way I don't keep an entire archive of projects in my review tool.
