XRay storage to confluence/Jira

Question

We are currently using Xray Standard and it comes with 100 GB of storage. We are currently using it to store proof of our UAT/QA testing which could include video documentation. I am looking for some advise:

* How often and when should documents be archived if we do not have a set standard in place?
* How old do you store before completely removing?
* Archiving in Xray still counts toward our storage limits, so could we automate to have it back up to confluence or a task in Jira?

This is just the start and trying to gather some information to bring to management.

Thank you Staffan, we are using Azure and I am sure that could be an option.

Hi @[deleted]

From my experience it is not a good practice to store large attachments in Jira since they are a nightmare to find and delete in a good way once they are stored.

I was working with a customer who used AWS and we set up S3 buckets for storage and used a plugin that exposed the information in the Jira ticket, just like it was attached to the ticket.

If I remember correctly this is the app we used:

Amazon S3 Connector for Jira | Atlassian Marketplace
