# FAQ

- **Q. Are there any requirements?**

  - You must have a GitHub account

- **Q. How long do files live for?**

  - Forever (or as long as GitHub is around).

- **Q. Who can access these files?**

  - Anyone that has the link. All files uploaded to issues/prs are, essentially, publically available, even against private repos ([read more here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/file-attachments-on-issues-and-pull-requests))

- **Q. How big can the files be?**

  - **10MB** for image files and **25MB** for everything else.

- **Q. What file types are supported?**

  - PNG (.png)

  - GIF (.gif)

  - JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)

  - SVG (.svg)

  - Log files (.log)

  - Microsoft Word (.docx), Powerpoint (.pptx), and Excel (.xlsx) documents

  - Text files (.txt)

  - PDFs (.pdf)

  - ZIP (.zip, .gz)

  - Video (.mp4, .mov, .webm)

- **Q. Are there any other limitations?**

  - The web extension stores references to previous uploaded files for listing/management purposes later on via [extension storage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/local) which has a limit of **5MB** before there may be data loss. Theoretically, you'll never hit this limit and experience any issues.
