What are bitbucket limitations for binary files?

What are bitbucket limitations for binary files, size-wise and performance?

In bitbucket we will have to clone development/feature branch from master branch, each time for new development cycle. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This process will clone everything, including our binary files.

We have 800+ binary files totaling 850 Mb with largest file of 20 Mb. 

What challenges will we face using bitbucket in cloud? What are account's size limitations? Will there be any performance issues with binary files?

 

Thank you,

Leon

Hi Leon,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Each repository on Bitbucket Cloud has a 1 GB limit on each repository. You can increase this by using Git LFS, and the addition file storage for it depends on what pricing-tier you are on you get. Check out Pricing to get more information about it. 

Git LFS was created because Git is known to not perform well once you reach a certain repository size (around 3 GB plus), so Git LFS reduces the impact of large files in your repository.
