[SOLVED] Files not being compressed

[frozen kindle]

I'm using the Backblaze B2 storage to store all the files.
I tried uploading a file into appwrite without compression and then enabled compression and uploaded the same file again.

The file size seems to be the same compressed or not in the Backblaze bucket.

Am I missing something or something is wrong with Backblaze?

How big is the file?

[frozen kindle]

Less than 20

MB

13MB specifically

Also, I'm pretty sure the size we show in the console is the original file size

[elder pier]

But that's odd backblaze shows the same file size

Did you try to with plain text file?

[frozen kindle]

Yes, but in Backblaze it takes the same amount compressed or not

But is the file size supposed to decrease?

Isn't that only for specific files?

[elder pier]

Not always

[frozen kindle]

In this case, never I think 🤔

[frozen kindle]

No idea

[fleet pond]

what file extension is it?

[frozen kindle]

I tried MP4, JPEG and PNG

[elder pier]

Ya, try plain text

[frozen kindle]

You mean a .txt file or what?

Could it be that these files are already compressed? 🤔 I mean, creating a ZIP file of an MP4, JPG or PNG won't make them smaller in size either for example I think. 🤔

Will try

It takes 0.02Mb less with ZIP 😛

So it's being compressed but since it's just a lite, it's practically unnoticeable
